Two extracellular polysaccharides from strains of Erwinia chrysanhemi Ech 1 and 9, phytopathogens of potatoes, have been isolated and purified. Both have similar compositions and other properties to that produced by strain SR 260, a phytopathogen of corn. These polysaccharides are composed of L-rhamnose, D-mannose, D-glucose, D-glucuronic acid in the ratio 3:1:1:1. Initial structural aspects of these polysaccharides are reflected in the 600 MHz 1H NMR spectra and the products of partial acid hydrolysis, which are presented for comparison.

D011134	Polysaccharides	Long chain polymeric CARBOHYDRATES composed of MONOSACCHARIDES linked by glycosidic bonds.	Glycan,Glycans,Polysaccharide
D002240	Carbohydrate Sequence	The sequence of carbohydrates within POLYSACCHARIDES; GLYCOPROTEINS; and GLYCOLIPIDS.	Carbohydrate Sequences,Sequence, Carbohydrate,Sequences, Carbohydrate
D002845	Chromatography	Techniques used to separate mixtures of substances based on differences in the relative affinities of the substances for mobile and stationary phases. A mobile phase (fluid or gas) passes through a column containing a stationary phase of porous solid or liquid coated on a solid support. Usage is both analytical for small amounts and preparative for bulk amounts.	Chromatographies
D015394	Molecular Structure	The location of the atoms, groups or ions relative to one another in a molecule, as well as the number, type and location of covalent bonds.	Structure, Molecular,Molecular Structures,Structures, Molecular
D016974	Dickeya chrysanthemi	A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that causes vascular wilts on a wide range of plant species. It was formerly named Erwinia chrysanthemi and Pectobacterium chrysanthemi.	Erwinia chrysanthemi,Pectobacterium chrysanthemi
