Abstract excerpt
1. The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and the extracellular products (slime) of a smooth, nonmucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain (PAC IR) and its rough mutant (PAC 605) were subjected to a comparative biochemical analysis. 2. Chemical and electrophoretic analyses suggested that the slime preparation of both strains are composed mainly of similar carbohydrate components which are different from those of the respective...
