Abstract excerpt
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), the primary lipid on the surface of Gram-negative bacteria, is thought to act as a protective and permeability barrier. X-ray diffraction analysis of osmotically stressed LPS multilayers was used to determine the structure and interactive properties of LPSs from strains containing the minimum number of sugars necessary for bacterial survival (Re chemotype) to the maximum number of sugars...
