Abstract
On hydrolysis, the purified lipopolysaccharide (LPS) isolated from Vibrio cholera, Inaba 569 B, yielded glucose, mannose, a heptose behaving like D-glycero-L-manno-heptose and one behaving like D-glycero-L-gluco-heptose, 2-amino-2-deoxyglucose, and glucuronic acid in the molar ratios of approximately 9:4:5:1:2:5. Studies on the LPS, the polysaccharide (PS), and carboxyl-reduced LPS showed that the PS has a branched structure, with (1 leads to 2)-linked mannopyranosyl and a heptopyranosyl, and (1 leads to 4)-linked glucopyranosyluronic and 2-amino-2-deoxyglucopyranosyl residues in the interior part of the molecule, and glucopyranosyl and heptopyranosyl residues as nonreducing end-groups.
