Table 3. Linkage analysis of neutral sugars of the Epols extracted from ΔbcsB/pBerA and H111 WT pellicles produced in LB and NYG media.

Integration values of the peak areas were corrected by the effective carbon response factors (Sweet, Shapiro & Albersheim, 1975). Quantitation is reported as Molar Ratios Relative to 3-Man. Numbers next to sugars indicate the position of glycosidic linkages; t-Hex indicates terminal non-reducing hexose.
