Mechanism of O-antigen distribution in lipopolysaccharide.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Sept 1990

Goldman R C, Hunt F

Abstract excerpt

O-antigen units are nonuniformly distributed among lipid A-core molecules in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from gram-negative bacteria, as revealed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate; the actual distribution patterns are complex, multimodal, and strain specific. Although the basic biochemical steps involved in synthesis and polymerization of O-antigen monomers and their subsequent...
