Thiothrix fructosivoransforms a microtube (sheath) that encloses a line of cells. This sheath is an assemblage of [→4)-GlcN-(1 → 4)-Glc-(1→]nwith side chains of Rha4N-(1 → 3)-Fuc(1→ at position 3 of Glc. The sheath-forming polysaccharide (SFP) may have some substitutions but this is not yet confirmed. To investigate the possible substitutions, the sheath was prepared by mild treatments. Solid-state NMR analysis suggested the presence ofN-substitution. The sheath was hydrolyzed with concentrated HCl at 0 °C, followed by derivatization with 4-aminobenzoic acid ethyl ester (ABEE). The presence ofN-lactyl-Rha4N-Fuc-ABEE was suggested by NMR spectroscopy. Lactic acid was determined to be thel-isomer by chiral HPLC analysis. To estimate theN-lactylation degree, the sheath wasN-acetylated.N-Acetyl-Rha4N-Fuc-ABEE andN-lactyl-Rha4N-Fuc-ABEE were then collectively recovered, and their abundance ratio was determined to be 1:4 by NMR analysis. When hydrolysis was performed at 40 °C, GlcNAc-ABEE was obtained. For estimation of theN-acetylation degree, the sheath wasN-acetylated with deuterated acetic anhydride and thenN-acetyl-GlcN-ABEE was prepared. The content of deuteratedN-acetyl-GlcN-ABEE was determined to be 50% based on the relative intensity of the acetyl proton signal in the 1D-1H NMR spectrum. It was concluded that Rha4N is mostlyN-l-lactylated and GlcN is substoichiometricallyN-acetylated.
