Abstract

A polymeric fraction (the O-antigenic side-chain) has been isolated from the lipopolysaccharide of Burkholderia gladioli pv. gladioli strain NCPPB 1891 after mild acid hydrolysis. The components of the polymer and their molar proportions were l-Rha (1), d-Gal (1), d-Man (1), and O-acetyl (1). By means of chemical degradations and NMR studies, the repeating unit of the polymer was shown to be a linear trisaccharide of the structure shown.

A structure of the repeating unity of the O antigen of Burkholderia gladioli pv. gladioli has been proposed.

Production, purification, and structural characteristics of extracellular polysaccharides derived from Lactobacillus acidophilus

The signal of δ 5.31 ppm might be α-linked (1→2) Mannose [51]. The 13C NMR spectrum in Fig. 7b showed that the signals at δ100.5–102.9 ppm were assigned to C-1 of Mannose [52]. Characteristic signals of the ring carbons were appeared in the region between δ 65.4 and 78.7 ppm.
Extracellular polysaccharides (EPSs) derived from Lactobacillus acidophilus BCRC 10695 possess lots of beneficial effects to the host. In seeking to develop a fermentation process to produce EPSs, the culture medium compositions, purification, and structural analysis on EPSs were conducted.
The effects of carbon sources, nitrogen sources, and surfactants on EPSs production were explored. Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied for optimizing the cultivation medium. A four-step purification approach was carried out. The gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and NMR were applied for the EPSs structural analysis.
The optimal concentrations of sucrose, yeast extract and polysorbate 80 were 10.15 g/l, 25 g/l and 2 g/l respectively. The best EPS production was 923.7 mg/l in the late stationary phase of cultivation for 96 h, close to that in the experiment of 923.6 mg/l. The purification approach was able to remove 99.9% proteins and 98.5% of nucleic acid. Structural analysis showed EPSs consisted of mannose, ribose, glucose and galactose in ratios of 60.0: 22.8: 15.0: 2.2 and comprised (1→ 2) (1→6)-Mannose as backbone.
Total synthesis of the proposed structures of gladiosides I and II

B20. We believe it is especially important to reinvestigate the exact configuration of the sugar residues in these naturally occurring phenolic glycosides as different strains of B. gladioli (ICMP11096 and NCPPB 1891) [42–44] were shown to produce polysaccharides incorporating rhamnose residues in both l- and d-configurations and in either α- or β-glycosidic linkages. That being said, the anomeric linkage of the xylose residue is confirmed to be 1,2-trans with 3JH1,H2 values of 7.8 and 7.6 Hz for natural gladiosides I and II, respectively.
Burkholderia gladioli is a Gram-negative bacterium that biosynthesizes a cocktail of potent antimicrobial compounds, including the antifungal phenolic glycoside sinapigladioside. Herein, we report the total synthesis of the proposed structures of gladiosides I and II, two structurally related phenolic glycosides previously isolated from B. gladioli OR1 cultures. Importantly, the physical and analytical data of the synthetic compounds were in significant discrepancies with the natural products suggesting a misassignment of the originally proposed structures. Furthermore, we have uncovered an acid-catalyzed fragmentation mechanism converting the α,β-unsaturated methyl carbamate-containing gladioside II into the aldehyde-containing gladioside I. Our results lay the foundation for the expeditious synthesis of derivatives of these Burkholderia-derived phenolic glycosides, which would enable to decipher their biological roles and potential pharmacological properties.
Polysaccharides from Burkholderia species as targets for vaccine development, immunomodulation and chemical synthesis

Covering: up to 2018
Burkholderia species are a vast group of human pathogenic, phytopathogenic, and plant- or environment-associated bacteria. B. pseudomallei, B. mallei, and B. cepacia complex are the causative agents of melioidosis, glanders, and cystic fibrosis-related infections, respectively, which are fatal diseases in humans and animals. Due to their high resistance to antibiotics, high mortality rates, and increased infectivity via the respiratory tract, B. pseudomallei and B. mallei have been listed as potential bioterrorism agents by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Burkholderia species are able to produce a large network of surface-exposed polysaccharides, i.e., lipopolysaccharides, capsular polysaccharides, and exopolysaccharides, which are virulence factors, immunomodulators, major biofilm components, and protective antigens, and have crucial implications in the pathogenicity of Burkholderia-associated diseases. This review provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account regarding the structural elucidation and biological activities of surface polysaccharides produced by Burkholderia species. The chemical synthesis of oligosaccharides mimicking Burkholderia polysaccharides is described in detail. Emphasis is placed on the recent research efforts toward the development of glycoconjugate vaccines against melioidosis and glanders based on synthetic or native Burkholderia oligo/polysaccharides.
Occurrence of [→3)-β-D-Manp-(1 → 4)-β-D-Manp-(1→](n) units in the antigenic polysaccharides from Leptospira biflexa serovar patoc strain Patoc I

This conclusion was also supported by assignment of the 1H and 13C NMR spectra for AP-2 (Fig. 2). From a comparison of the 13C NMR spectral data reported for mannan and manno-oligosaccharides [19–21], all the anomeric and other signals in the 13C NMR spectra were assigned as shown in Table 3. Complete signal assignment of the 1H NMR spectrum (Table 3) was also carried out in combination with the spectral data of the COSY, HOHAHA (Fig. 3) and HMQC (Fig. 4) techniques.
In this study, we isolated three kinds of antigenic polysaccharide components (tentatively designed as AP-1∼3) from cells of Leptospira biflexa serovar patoc strain Patoc I (L. biflexa patoc Patoc I) by the hot phenol–water procedure, followed by treatment with mild acid and column chromatography. Two of them (AP-1 and AP-2) were recovered from the phenol-soluble fraction whereas another (AP-3) was recovered from the aqueous fraction. All of them reacted toward an anti-L. biflexa serum and also cross-reacted in similar extents toward most of the other leptospiral antisera tested. Such immunoreactions were specifically inhibited by a β-(1→4)-linked mannobiose, but were not by any mono- and oligosaccharide tested. From their structural analyses including ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectrometry, Smith degradation and methylation analysis, it was revealed that all of these antigenic polysaccharides had the same disaccharide unit →3)-β-d-Manp-(1→4)-β-d-Manp-(1→ in their major polysaccharide parts, but they differed in the acyl substituents. Therefore it is most likely that such mannobiose unit is a candidate for the antigenic epitopes of L. biflexa polysaccharides.
