Abstract
The chemical and serological characteristics of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) isolated from Vibrio bio-serogroup 1875 were compared with those of O1 Vibrio cholerae LPS. Vibrio bio-serogroup 1875 LPS contained all the component sugars which were found in O1 V. cholerae LPS, i.e. glucose, L-glycero-D-manno-heptose, fructose, glucosamine, perosamine and quinovosamine, though the amount of perosamine, a characteristic component of O1 V. cholerae LPS, was very low compared with that of O1 V. cholerae LPS. Their LPS additionally contained mannose and two unidentified neutral sugars which are not regular constituents of O1 V. cholerae LPS. Definite serological cross-reactivity in the passive haemolysis test between LPS from Vibrio bio-serogroup 1875 and LPS from O1 V. cholerae was demonstrated.

Abstract
A comparative study was made of the quantitative sugar composition of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) isolated from Vibrio cholerae (O1 and non O1 groups), 'V. albensis', 'V. proteus' and V. metschnikovii. The amino sugars 4-amino-4,6-dideoxy-D-mannose (perosamine) and 2-amino-2,6-dideoxy-D-glucose (quinovosamine) were present exclusively in LPS isolated from S-form O1 group of V. cholerae regardless of serotype (i.e. Ogawa or Inaba) and biotype (i.e. classical or eltor). Classical O1 group V. cholerae was distinguishable from eltor O1 group V. cholerae on the basis of the fructose content of the LPS: greater than 3% and less than or equal to 1%, respectively. Distinct differences in the sugar composition of LPS were observed between V. cholerae and 'V. albensis', 'V. proteus' and V. metschnikovii.

Abstract
A new acidic glycoprotein containing deaminated neuraminic acid (KDN = 3-deoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-nonulosonic acid; greater than 50%, w/w) was isolated from vitelline envelope of the unfertilized eggs of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri). This glycoprotein is designated as "KDN-glycoprotein" because it contains only KDN but no sialic acid as the acidic carbohydrate moieties. Other major carbohydrate components of KDN-glycoprotein were Gal and GalNAc. Thr and Ala accounted for 71% (mol/mol) of amino acid composition. A possible occurrence of KDN-KDN linkages, i.e. oligoKDN groups has been suggested in the carbohydrate chains presumably linked O-glycosidically to the core protein.

Abstract
The identification of enterobacterial mutants that contain alterations in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) oligosaccharide core structure facilitated the development of the model of the physicochemical and immunochemical structures of enteric LPS. Results of recent immunochemical studies have suggested that the structural model of the lipooligosaccharides (LOSs) of Neisseria gonorrhoeae may differ from the enteric LPS model. The difficulties in the analysis of the wild-type gonococcal LOS have precluded understanding of the precise nature of the LOS structure. This study was undertaken to isolate a series of mutants of N. gonorrhoeae 1291 that had sequential saccharide deletions in the LOS. Results of preliminary studies suggested that the pyocin, designated pyocin C, allowed selection of gonococci with such mutant LOS structures. Results also indicated that the receptor for pyocin C binding was an LOS component. Pyocin C selection led to the isolation of five strains with LOS patterns on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels which differed from the LOS of parent strain 1291. In this system, the Mr of the parent LOS was 4,715, while the LOSs from the mutant strains demonstrated progressive saccharide deletions, with Mrs of 4,230, 4,089, 3,627, 3,262, and 3,197. Protein patterns of these mutants on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels were qualitatively similar to those of the parent strains. Results of studies with five monoclonal antibodies specific for neisserial LOS indicated that shared as well as unique epitopes were present on the mutant LOSs. Results of ketodeoxyoctonate analysis of the mutant LOSs indicated that the majority of the ketodeoxyoctonate residues may be substituted on C-4 or C-5. Chemical and immunological analysis of such LOS mutants should expedite the development of the model for the structure of gonococcal LOS.

Abstract
The relation between the amount of cortex, measured as total hexosamine, as diaminopimelic acid and as muramic lactam, and the heat resistance of spores of five different strains of Bacillus stearothermophilus was studied. Electron micrographs of thin sections of the spores were made to relate the structure of the spores to chemical and thermal characteristics. It was found that the amount of the cortex was significantly related to heat resistance of the spores. Strains with more electron-dense and better organized cortices were found to express higher heat resistance.

Abstract
Analyses of chemical composition in whole cells of Rickettsia tsutsugamushi were performed and compared with those of the other rickettsiae and gram-negative bacteria. The results indicated that R. tsutsugamushi does not contain detectable amounts of 3-deoxy-D-mannooctulosonic acid, heptose, muramic acid, or glucosamine (less than 2, less than 2, less than 3, and less than 3 nmol/mg, respectively). The microorganism was found to contain four kinds of fatty acids (16:0, 18:0, 18:1, and 18:2), but not hydroxy fatty acids. Furthermore, in analysis by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by silver or Coomassie blue staining, lipopolysaccharide bands were not detected in preparations treated with proteinase K. It is concluded that R. tsutsugamushi has little or no peptidoglycan or lipopolysaccharide.

Abstract
The aqueous layer was isolated from Leptospira interrogans serovar canicola strain Moulton by the hot phenol-water method. After ultracentrifugation, the precipitate was designated as lipopolysaccharide-like substance (LLS) fraction and the chemical composition was compared with that of bacterial LPS. The LLS fraction consists of 35.2% carbohydrate, 3.8% amino sugar, 36.4% lipid, 15.2% protein, and 0.3% phosphorus. Neutral sugars were detected as rhamnose, arabinose, xylose, 4-O-methylmannose, mannose, galactose, and a small amount of erythrose, fucose and glucose by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC), but 2-keto-3-deoxyoctonic acid was not detected in the LLS by thiobarbituric acid test and high voltage paper electrophoresis. Fatty acids detected by GLC were decanoic acid (C10: 0), dodecanoic acid (C12: 0), dodecenoic acid (C12: 1), tridecenoic acid (C13: 1), tetradecanoic acid (C14: 0), hexadecanoic acid (C16: 0), hexadecenoic acid (C16: 1), and octadecenoic acid (C18: 1). With SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, bacterial LPS showed many orderly bands, while the banding pattern of the leptospiral LLS was very simple. These findings demonstrate that the physicochemical properties and chemical composition of LLS fraction from Leptospira are different from those of LPS extracted from gram-negative bacteria such as Enterobacteriaceae, and suggesting that Leptospira has no typical LPS.

Abstract
The antitumor activity of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and radio-detoxified LPS of Vibrio parahaemolyticus was tested against S180 cells in Swiss mice. The toxicity of the LPS was 200 times less than that of Salmonella typhimurium LPS. The V. parahaemolyticus LPS could be detoxified by exposure to gamma radiation. Both LPS and the irradiated LPS exhibited antitumor activity, though the irradiated LPS was less effective than the native LPS. These observations indicated that exposure to gamma radiation caused significant detoxification of V. parahaemolyticus LPS and the detoxified LPS still possessed considerable antitumor activity.

Abstract
The effects of subinhibitory concentrations of different beta-lactam antibiotics and one quinolone on the quantitative composition of the outer membrane (OM) of two strains of Escherichia coli, on lipid translocation into the OM, and on the production of capsular K1 polysaccharide were studied. The phospholipid/amino acid ratio was reduced in almost all OM preparations from antibiotic-treated bacteria. In one strain, antibiotic treatment increased the lipopolysaccharide/amino acid ratio. The amount of peptidoglycan fragments bound to the OM was increased by all the antibiotics. In pulse-chase experiments with a radioactive lipid precursor, ciprofloxacin, imipenem, and aztreonam inhibited phospholipid translocation into the OM. Furthermore, imipenem, cephaloridine, and ciprofloxacin induced a pronounced reduction of the production of capsular K1 polysaccharide. Thus, antibiotics seem to induce marked changes of the quantitative composition of the cell envelope of E. coli. Possible connections of these data with findings on the influence of antibiotics on functional parameters of the host-parasite relationship such as OM immunogenicity and serum resistance are discussed.

After treatment with aqueous, 50% hydrofluoric acid, a well-known dephosphorylating agent, the presence of 3-deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonic acid (KDO), an essential and characteristic constituent of endotoxins, can be readily demonstrated in reportedly KDO-deficient bacterial lipopolysaccharides.

Abstract
The relationship between lipopolysaccharide (LPS) composition and virulence of Haemophilus ducreyi strains was investigated. Glycoses identified in LPS by gas-liquid chromatography were glucose, galactose, and their amino derivatives glucosamine and galactosamine. Fucose was found in trace amounts but mannose and rhamnose, characteristic of the O-side chain of LPS in many species, were not detected. Qualitatively, the LPS composition of the eight strains examined was similar and differences were mainly quantitative. The total glycose:KDO ratio of the LPS of virulent strains exceeded that of avirulent strains. All strains had similar fatty-acid composition but lacked lauric acid. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the LPS of virulent and avirulent strains also revealed differences in their electrophoretic mobilities. The LPS profiles of avirulent strains were similar, but differed from those of virulent strains. These profiles lacked high mol. wt bands representing O-side chain repeating units. Thus, differences in the electrophoretic mobilities of the LPS of virulent and avirulent strains may reflect differences in the amount of carbohydrates associated with the core polysaccharide.

Abstract
Lipid A that contains mainly 2,3-diamino-2,3-dideoxy-D-glucose, phosphate and fatty acids in the molar ratio 2:1:5-6 was found in Pseudomonas diminuta lipopolysaccharide. The lipid A was considered to have a diamino-sugar disaccharide structure that carries a nonglycosidic phosphomonoester group and amide-bound acyloxyacyl and 3-hydroxy fatty acyl groups. The lipopolysaccharide exhibited endotoxic activities including lethal toxicity, pyrogenicity, local Shwartzman activity, body weight-decreasing toxicity and Limulus activity. The free lipid A was also endotoxic.

Abstract
Several conditions of acidic anhydrous methanolysis were examined to optimize the release and minimize the degradation of unphosphorylated 2-keto-3-deoxy-D-manno-octonic acid (KDO) from bacterial lipopolysaccharides and polysaccharides. The reaction was monitored by capillary gas chromatography after derivatization by trifluoroacetic anhydride. The best results were obtained by use of 2 M hydrochloric acid at 60 degrees C for 2 h. Under these conditions a single KDO component appeared, and KDO was quantitatively released from all model compounds except when glycosidically linked to hexosamines. For quantitative cleavage of this linkage a reaction time of 6 h was required at 60 degrees C, giving rise to 5-10% of secondary KDO products. The KDO detection limit was about 250 pmol (50 ng) and the molar response was the same as for glucose. The KDO derivative gave a mass spectrometric fragmentation pattern consistent with a pyranosidic methylketoside methyl ester structure. Differentiation of KDO linkage types could be obtained by determination of the rates of KDO release by mild methanolysis.

Abstract
A polysaccharide was found to be covalently linked to the peptidoglycan of the unicellular cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC6714 via phosphodiester bonds. It could be cleaved from the peptidoglycan-polysaccharide (PG-PS) complex by hydrofluoric acid (HF) treatment in the cold (48% HF, 0 degrees C, 48 h) yielding a pure, HF-insoluble peptidoglycan fraction and an HF-soluble polysaccharide fraction. The PG-PS complex was isolated from the Triton X-100-insoluble cell wall fraction by hot sodium dodecyl sulfate treatment and digestion with proteases. Digestion of the complex with N-acetylmuramidase released the glycopeptide-linked polysaccharide, which was further purified by dialysis and gel filtration on Sephadex G-50 and G-200. The polysaccharide consisted of glucosamine, mannosamine, galactosamine, mannose, and glucose and had a molecular weight of 25,000 to 30,000. Muramic acid-6-phosphate was identified as the binding site of the covalently linked, nonphosphorylated polysaccharide as revealed by chemical analysis of linkage fragments of the PG-PS complex.

Abstract
An unknown deaminated sialic acid has been isolated from Salmo gairdneri (rainbow trout) egg polysialoglycoprotein. A combination of structural methods including gas-liquid chromatography, chemical and enzymatic analyses, mass spectrometry, and 400-MHz 1H NMR spectroscopy was used to determine the structure as 2-keto-3-deoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-nononic acid (= 3-deoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-nonulosonic acid; KDN). This structure has been confirmed by comparison with a chemically synthesized authentic sample of KDN. The natural occurrence of deaminated sialic acid in biological material has not been previously reported. A series of KDN-containing oligosialic acids were isolated from the polysialoglycoprotein after pH 4.7-catalyzed hydrolysis. Structural studies including methylation analysis, mass spectrometry, 1H NMR spectroscopy, and chemical reactivity were also used to confirm the structures of the sialyloligosaccharides as KDN alpha 2[8NeuGc alpha 2-]n (n = 1-7). The exclusive location of KDN at the nonreducing termini in polysialoglycoproteins protects oligo(poly)sialyl chains from exosialidases. Terminal capping of these chains may be important in egg activation in salmonid fishes.

Abstract
The quantitative analysis of 2-keto-L-gulonic acid (2-KLG) produced by microbial fermentation is described. 2-KLG is separated from other aldonic and ketoaldonic acids by high-performance liquid chromatography on an Aminex anion exchange column with ammonium formate or potassium phosphate as the eluant. This is a rapid and simple method for routine analysis of a large number of samples generated by fermentation studies. Gas chromatography--mass spectrometry permits the qualitative and quantitative analysis of nanogram levels of 2-keto-L-gulonate in complex media and provides confirmation of the HPLC results. The methodologies presented are useful for the analysis of a number of aldonic and ketoaldonic acids.

Abstract
A modified methylation analysis is described which allows the elucidation of the structure of the inner core region [heptose/3-deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonic acid (KDO)] of enterobacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) of Salmonella minnesota rough mutants (Re, strain R595; and Rd2P-, strain R4). Methylation, carboxyl-reduction, remethylation, hydrolysis, carbonyl-reduction, and acetylation of the Re-mutant LPS yielded the 2,6-di-O-acetyl and 2,4,6-tri-O-acetyl derivatives of partially methylated 3-deoxyoctitol in equimolar amounts, indicating the presence of a terminal and a 4-linked pyranosidic KDO residue. For Rd2P- LPS, the hydrolysis step involved 0.1M trifluoroacetic acid at 100 degrees for 1 h which cleaved ketosidic linkages, and the final products included the foregoing acetyl derivatives in the molar ratio of 1:02 and a partially methylated and acetylated 3-deoxyoctitol derivative which was substituted at O-5 by a methylated heptopyranosyl residue. Trideuteriomethylation of the latter product followed by methanolysis and acetylation gave 5-O-acetyl-3-deoxy-1,7,8-tri-O-methyl-2,4,6-tri-O-trideuteriomethyl++ +-D- glycero-D-talo/galacto-octitol and 1,5-di-O-acetyl-2,3,4,6,7-penta-O-methyl-L-glycero-D-manno-heptitol++ +. These results prove the presence of a (2----4)-linked KDO disaccharide in Re LPS and show that the core region of Rd2P- LPS contains a terminal alpha-L-glycero-D-manno-heptopyranosyl group and a non-substituted, a 4-O-, and a 4,5-di-O-substituted pyranosidic KDO residue in the molar ratios 1:1:0.2:1.

Abstract
Methods were developed for the separation of radioactively labeled carbohydrate components of proteoglycans by isocratic ion-moderated partition HPLC. Neutral sugars were separated after hydrolysis in trifluoroacetic acid with baseline separation between glucose, xylose, galactose, fucose, and mannose. N-Acetylneuraminic acid, N-acetylated hexosamines, glucose, galactose, and xylitol were likewise well separated from each other under isocratic elution conditions. Glucuronic acid, iduronic acid, and their lactones were separated after hydrolysis in formic acid and sulfuric acid. Glucosamine, galactosamine, galactosaminitol, and glucosaminitol were separated by HPLC on a cation exchanger with neutral buffer after hydrolysis in hydrochloric acid. The separation techniques also proved useful in fractionation of exoglycosidase digests of O- and N-linked oligosaccharides. Separations of aldoses, hexosamines, and uronic acids were adapted to sensitive photometric detection.

Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide components 3-deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonic acid and L-glycero-D-manno-heptose were detected in hydrolysates from whole cells of Neisseria elongata by gas-liquid chromatography. Cells from a single plate were hydrolyzed, and carbohydrate components were converted to aldononitrile and O-methyloxime acetate derivatives for subsequent analyses by gas-liquid chromatography. 3-Deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonic acid was well separated from other cell components as the O-methyloxime acetate derivative. With both derivatives, L-glycero-D-manno-heptose was readily identified by their different retention times. The procedure requires only a relatively small number of cells, and detection is accomplished without prior isolation of the lipopolysaccharide.

Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Haemophilus pleuropneumoniae 1536, serotype 2, was isolated and purified by a procedure designed to be equally satisfactory for both smooth- and rough-type LPS. The LPS yield was 53%. Analysis of the preparations revealed that protein, nucleic acid, and cellular phospholipid contamination was negligible (less than 0.1%). Analysis of the sugar content of the LPS by gas-liquid chromatography and colorimetric analysis revealed the presence of rhamnose, mannose, galactose, glucose, heptose, glucosamine, galactosamine, and 3-deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonic acid. The heptose and glucose contents appeared to be unusually high. The fatty acids of the LPS consisted of a mixture of C14:0 and C16:0 in a ratio of about 4.5:1 (50% of the total) and 3-hydroxy C14:0. When used as a preparatory dose for the dermal Shwartzman reaction, as little as 10 micrograms of the LPS injected intradermally in rabbits produced reddening and swelling. After intravenous injection of a 100-micrograms LPS provoking dose, necrosis was observed at all intradermal injection sites. Limulus amebocyte lysate gelation was observed with an LPS concentration as low as 0.5 ng/ml. A typical biphasic fever response was noted in rabbits injected with as little as 0.25 ng of LPS per kg of body weight.
