Modulation of the surface architecture of Gram‐negative bacteria by the action of surface polymer:lipid A–core ligase and by determinants of polymer chain length

1 Feb 1997

Abstract excerpt

Lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) are complex glycolipids found in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. The lipid A-core component of the LPS molecule provides a versatile anchor to which a surface polymer:lipid A-core ligase enzyme can attach one or more structurally distinct surface polymers in a single bacterial strain. In some cases the same polymer can be found on the cell surface in both lipid...
