The genes encoding the glycosyltransferases responsible for the addition of the five sugars in the alpha-oligosaccharide (alpha-OS) moiety of lipooligosaccharide (LOS) have been identified. Disruption of these glycosyltransferase genes singly or in combination results in corresponding truncations in LOS. In the present work we show that sequential deletion of the terminal four sugar residues of gonococcal...
