| PolysacDB ID | 2345 |
| Carbohydrate Name | Exopolysaccharide (Drugpedia) |
| Carbohydrate Class | Capsular polysaccharide |
| Microbe | Shewanella colweliana (NCBI Taxonomy) (Drugpedia) |
| Basic Structure | The EPS is composed of mannose, glucose, galactose, and pyruvate in a 1:2:2:4 molar ratio. Molecular weight analysis by gel filtration demonstrates that the EPS is polydispersive and composed of a major high-molecularweight species and lesser amounts of smaller molecularweight species

| BCSDB Structure | N/A |
| Proposed functions | N/A |
| Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies | Whole cells |
| Carrier Name | Nil |
| Conjugation Method | Nil |
| Antibodies | Mab Aco22 |
| Antibody type and class | IgG3 |
| Assay System | ELISA, Immunofluorescence and immunoblotting |
| Cross-reactivity | This Mab was specific to EPS of Shwenella colweliana |
| Proposed epitopes | This EPS epitope was sensitive to cleavage of ester bonds, but neither pyruvate, acetate, nor terminal nonreducing sugars were required for antigenicity |
| IEDB Epitope | N/A |
| Proposed Utility | This Mab can be used to quantitate the synthesis and probe the function of S. colwelliana EPS |
