Glycosyl linkage analysis of Cg-LM and Cg-LAM from different strains of C. glutamicum.
A. Cg-LM per-O-methylated samples were hydrolysed using 2 M TFA, reduced and per-O-acetylated. The resulting partially per-O-methylated, per-O-acetylated alditol acetates were analysed using GC-MS.
B. Cg-LAM per-O-methylated samples were hydrolysed using 2 M TFA, reduced and per-O-acetylated. The resulting partially per-O-methylated, per-O-acetylated alditol acetates were analysed using GC-MS. The partially per-O-methylated, per-O-acetylated alditol acetates were identified based on their characteristic alditol cleavage acetal profiles: t-Araf (m/z 118, 161), t-Manp (m/z 118, 102, 145, 161, 162, 205), 2-Manp (m/z 129, 130, 161, 190), 6-Manp (m/z 118, 129, 162, 189, 233) and 2,6-Manp (m/z 129, 130, 189, 190).
