Synthesis of oligosaccharides corresponding to the polysaccharides of Lactobacillus and Thermophlilus strains

Synthesis of a branched trisaccharide and a tetrasaccharide repeating units corresponding to the polysaccharides of Lactobacillus spp. G-77 and Thermus thermophilus Samu-SA1 as their methyl glycosides has been achieved in excellent yield. Most of the glycosyl linkages are 1,2-cis in these oligosaccharide fragments

Synthesis of a pentasaccharide repeating unit of the extracellular polysaccharide produced by lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. Bulgaricus 291

A pentasaccharide as its methyl glycoside has been synthesized efficiently using a modified glycosylation strategy. This pentasaccharide is a repeating unit of the exopolysaccharides produced by Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus 291
