The polysaccharide moiety of the O16 antigen (lipopolysaccharide) consists of D-glucopyranose, D-galactofuranose, L-rhamnopyranose, and 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose in the molar ratios 1:1:1:1. It is O-acetylated with one acetyl group per repeating unit. One- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy of the polysaccharide before and after O-deacetylation showed that the O16 polysaccharide has the structure [formula: see text]
