FIGURE 5

Selected examples of representative structures printed in bacterial carbohydrate microarrays. The repeating unit of Enterococcus faecalis LTA is shown as representative of a glycerol phosphate LTA backbone. Bacterial β(1-2)-linked cyclic glucans can occur in unsubstituted form or substituted at Glc C6 with anionic groups (e.g., succinyl in B. abortus). The structure shown for NTHi LOS corresponds to the major glycoform of strain 375. Because of space limitations, the structure of the O-chain of K. pneumoniae LPS is shown below the structure of the LPS core. Unless specifically indicated, sugar units are D-stereoisomers in pyranoside form. Sugars in furanoside form are labeled with the f suffix. GroA, glyceric acid; Gro, glycerol; GalA, galacturonic acid; P, phosphate; PEtN, phosphoethanolamine; OAc, O-acetyl; PCho, phosphorylcholine.
