Abstract excerpt
The rhizobacteria Azospirillum brasilense Sp245 produce antigenically different lipopolysaccharides LPSI and LPSII, both containing identical pentasaccharides built from D-rhamnose residues as the repeated chains of O-specific oligosaccharides (OPS). In this study, we report the structure of the OPS from A. brasilense LPSI(-)LPSII(-)-mutant Sp245.5, which spontaneously lost the p85 and p120 plasmids upon the...
