Abstract

produces different types of surface polysaccharides. Among them, cyclic β-(1→2)-d-glucan is located in the periplasmic space of rhizobia and plays an important role in the adaptation of bacteria to osmotic adaptation. Cyclic β-(1→2)-d-glucan (CG), synthesized from 1021, has a neutral and anionic form. In the present study, we characterized the exact chemical structures of anionic CG after purification using size exclusion s (Bio-Gel P-6 and P-2) chromatography, and DEAE-Sephadex anion exchange chromatography. The exact structure of each isolated anionic CG was characterized using various analytical methods such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy and matrix associated laser desorption ionization-time of Flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. The precise chemical structures of novel anionic CG molecules were elucidated by various NMR spectroscopic analyses, including H, C, P, and 2D HSQC NMR spectroscopy. As a result, we discovered that anionic CG molecules have either glycerophosphoryl or succinyl residues at C6 positions of a neutral CG. In addition, the results of MALDI-TOF mass spectrometric analysis confirmed that there are two types of patterns for anionic CG peaks, where one type of peak was the succinylated CG (SCG) and the other was glycerophospholated CG (GCG). In addition, it was revealed that each anionic CG has one to four substituents of the succinyl group of SCG and glycerophosphoryl group of GCG, respectively. Anionic CG could have potential as a cyclic polysaccharide for drug delivery systems and a chiral separator based on the complexation with basic target molecules.
