Structural elucidation of the lipopolysaccharide core regions of the wild-type strain PAO1 and O-chain-deficient mutant strains AK1401 and AK1012 from Pseudomonas aeruginosa serotype O5.

Abstract excerpt

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa serotype O5 wild-type strain PAO1 and derived rough-type mutant strains AK1401 and AK1012 was isolated by a modified phenol/chloroform/petroleum-ether extraction method. Deoxycholate/PAGE of the LPS from the rough mutant AK1401 indicated two bands near the dye front with mobilities similar to those of the parent strain, indicating that both LPS contain a...
