Lipopolysaccharide was isolated from strain LMG 6999 of Burkholderia vietnamiensis . Degradative and NMR spectroscopic studies established the presence of two polymeric fractions based on the following trisaccharide repeating units: I: →3)‐α‐ d ‐Gal p ‐(1→3)‐β‐ d ‐Gal p ‐(1→3)‐β‐ d ‐Gal p NAc‐(1→; II: →3)‐α‐ d ‐Gal p NAc‐(1→3)‐β‐ d ‐Gal p NAc‐(1→4)‐α‐ l ‐Rha p ‐(1→. The same polymers have previously been found together in lipopolysaccharide from the reference strain for Burkholderia cepacia serogroup O4 and, individually, in those from B. cepacia serogroups C (I) and A (II).
