A New Polysaccharide Resembling Alginic Acid Isolated from Pseudomonads

From the ¹ From the Departments of Biological Chemistry and Pathology, University of Utah College of Medicine, Salt Lake City, Utah 84112, and the Veterans Administration Hospital, Salt Lake City, Utah 84113

Polysaccharides isolated from slime-producing Pseudomonas organisms were found to contain mannuronic and guluronic acid only. The polymers closely resemble alginic acid, a seaweed polysaccharide, as shown by composition, infrared spectra, and alginase digestion. The new polysaccharides from Pseudomonas appear to contain O-acetyl groups, which are not known to be present in the alginates.
