(A) MALDI-MS analysis on the 2.1 RT eluted fraction from the wild type Xcc8004 EPS. Shown one quasimolecular ion at m/z (mass-to-charge ratio) 2632.8 which matched with the calculated mass for an [M+Na] + ion based on an unsubstituted 16-member cyclic glucan (inset) of Xanthomonas campestris. Peaks with m/z of below 1100 were matrix derived peaks after comparing the MALDI-MS of matrix only control (See also Fig. EV3A-B; Fig. EV4D).
