FIG. 6.

¹³C-NMR (A) and ³¹P-NMR (B) spectra of isolated EPS after growth of the Eps⁺ strain in [1-¹³C]glucose until the stationary growth phase. In spectrum A, the resonances due to anomeric carbons of glucose, galactose, rhamnose, and galactose phosphate in the EPS repeating unit were detected. The arrow indicates the region where the resonances due to carbon 6 of these sugars would appear.
