In vivo determination of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup A capsular polysaccharide by whole cell high-resolution magic angle spinning NMR spectroscopy: Carbohydr.Res.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
High resolution-magic angle spinning (HRMAS) NMR spectroscopy was applied to serogroup A Neisseria meningitidis (NMA) to determine precise structures of capsular polysaccharide (CPS) expressed on the meningococcal surface. Both the O-acetylated (OAc) NMA parent and a mynC::aphA3 OAc- mutant demonstrated characteristic CPS-derived NMR signals indicating cell-surface expression of CPS, but only the parent expressed O-3 and O-4 acetylation signals. A capsule-defective strain showed no NMR signals for CPS. The (1)H NMR HRMAS spectral patterns correlated with the purified CPS (1)H NMR profiles. HRMAS NMR can distinguish detailed complex carbohydrate structures expressed on bacteria. NMA express both O-3 and O-4 acetylated polymers but not in equimolar ratio amounts in vivo

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
