Abstract

1. A hexasaccharide unit was isolated from the specific substance S. 10A from Pneumococcus type 10A (34) by hydrolysis with alkali followed by enzymic dephosphorylation. 2. The hexasaccharide was shown to be O-d-galactofuranosyl-(1→3)-O-d- galactopyranosyl-(1→4)-O-[d-galactofuranosyl- (1→6)]-O-2-acet-amido-2-deoxy-d-galactopyranosyl- (1→3)-O-d-galactopyranosyl-(1→2)-ribitol.
