Abstract excerpt

Defined mutants of the galactose biosynthetic (Leloir) pathway were employed to investigate lipopolysaccharide (LPS) oligosaccharide expression in Haemophilus influenzae type b strain Eagan. The structures of the low-molecular-mass LPS glycoforms from strains with mutations in the genes that enco...
