Pantoea alhagi exopolysaccharides (PAPS) have been shown to enhance crop resistance to abiotic stress. However, physicochemical properties and structure of PAPS have not yet been analyzed. In this study, two PAPSs, named PAPS1 and PAPS2, were isolated and purified from the P. alhagi NX-11. The results showed PAPS1 and PAPS2 were composed of glucose, galactose, glucuronic acid, glucosamine and mannose with average molecular weight of 1.326 × 106 Da and 1.959 × 106 Da, respectively. Moreover, the structure of PAPS1 and PAPS2 was investigated by FT-IR and NMR analysis. PAPS1 was identified to have the backbone structure of →4)-β-D-GlcpA-(1→2)-α-D-Galp-(1→3)-β-D-Galp-(1→3)-β-D-GlcpN- (1→3)-α-D-Galp-(1→3)-β-D-Galp-(1→. PAPS2 had the backbone structure of →4)-β-D-GlcpA-(1→2)-α-D-Galp-(1→3)-β-D-Glcp-(1→3)-β-D-GlcpN-(1→3)-α-D-Galp-(1→3)-α-D-GlcpN-(1→. In addition, PAPS1 and PAPS2 had moderate antioxidant and emulsifying capacities. Overall, the structure analysis of PAPS may point out the direction for the subsequent study of PAPS-mediated microbial and plant interactions, and further exploration of the application of PAPS.
