Elution profile on a Superdex 75 column of 20-mg
oligosaccharides generated from type II GBS polysaccharide after
22 h of ozonolysis. Fractions 1–4 correspond to one to four
repeating units, with average molecular sizes of 1.3, 2.7, 4.3, and 5.7
kDa, respectively. The molecular sizes were determined from
oligosaccharide standards obtained by glycosidase digestion of type III
GBS polysaccharide.
