Structure of acidic polysaccharide from cell wall of Propionibacterium acnes strain C7. 1985

M Nagaoka, and K Kamisango, and H Fujii, and K Uchikawa, and I Sekikawa, and I Azuma

The structure of polysaccharide prepared by lysozyme digestion from the cell wall of Propionibacterium acnes strain C7 was examined. The polysaccharide fraction was composed of glucose, galactose, mannose, galactosamine, and diaminomannuronic acid in a molar ratio of 1:1:0.3:1:2. By Smith degradation of the polysaccharide, diaminouronic acid-containing fractions were obtained, and the configuration of diaminouronic acid was identified as 2,3-diacetamido-2,3-dideoxymannuronic acid [Man(NAc)2A] by means of 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectroscopic analyses. The results of analyses involving methylation and partial acid hydrolysis led to the conclusion that the polysaccharide has the repeating unit----6)Gal(alpha 1----4)Man(NAc)2A(beta 1----6)Glc(alpha 1----4)Man(NAc)2A (beta 1----3)GalNAc(beta 1--. In addition, a portion of the galactose residues were substituted at C-4 by alpha 1----2 linked mannotriose.
