Bacteriophage phi 26 was used to depolymerize the polysaccharide of Klebsiella
K26
, yielding three oligosaccharides. The major product was the heptasaccharide repeating unit, with one of the minor products being the fourteen-sugar oligosaccharide corresponding to two repeating units. The other minor product was unusual since it was a hexasaccharide devoid of the terminal, pyruvate-containing galactose unit present in the side chain of the normal repeating unit. Phage phi 26 was shown to act as a
beta-galactosidase
, and hence it may have the ability to remove the terminal beta-galactose residue in the side chain.
