Individual fructan tri-, tetra- and pentasaccharide isomers in neutral, water-soluble extracts from Lolium temulentum were purified and the linkages present in these isomeric oligosaccharides were analysed by combined GC-mass spectrometry of partially methylated alditol acetates. 1-Kestose and neokestose were the most abundant trisaccharides with 6-kestose present in much lower amounts. Analysis of isomers of DP 4 and 5 showed that multiple linkage types were present with structures based on all three trisaccharides. Oligosaccharides based on neokestose but with 2,6 linkages between adjacent fructose residues have not been previously detected in higher plants. © 1992.

The configuration (D or L) of a sugar may be determined conveniently by circular dichroism measurements at 213 nm on alditol acetates, or their methylated derivatives, where the acetoxy group acts as a chromophore. Only milligram quantities of material are required and the method is well suited to analyzing fractions obtained by gas–liquid chromatography. Structural information which may be derived from the c.d. spectra is briefly discussed.

1. This paper deals with the identification of three O-methyl sugars in lipopolysaccharides isolated from strains of the Gram-negative photosynthetic family Rhodospirillaceae. In addition to the previously described 3-O-methyl-l-xylose, a second O-methyl sugar was encountered in the lipopolysaccharide of Rhodopseudomonas viridis F, namely 3-O-methyl-d-mannose. The lipopolysaccharides of two strains of Rhodopseudomonas palustris (strain 1e5 and 8/1) contain two O-methylsugars, 4-O-methyl-d-xylose and 3-O-methyl-6-deoxy-d-talose (d-acovenose). 4-O-Methyl-d-xylose, but not 3-O-methyl-6-deoxy-d-talose, could be identified in the lipopolysaccharides of the strains K/1 and 2/2 of the same species. 2. The O-methyl sugars described in this communication were isolated by paper chromatography and identified by g.l.c., paper chromatography, high-voltage electrophoresis and mass spectrometry. Besides the genuine sugars, their alditol acetates and their demethylated (parental) forms were investigated. Optical rotation measurements and, in one case, enzymic reactions were used to establish the optical configuration of the sugars under investigation.
