text: Evidence from gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and 31P NMR analysis of the separated polysaccharides supports a model of the group BStreptococcus cell surface in which the group B carbohydrate and the capsular polysaccharide are independently linked to the glycan backbone of cell wall peptidoglycan; group B carbohydrate is linked to N-acetylmuramic acid, and capsular polysaccharide is linked via a phosphodiester bond and an oligosaccharide linker to N-acetylglucosamine.
