RT Journal Article SR Electronic(1) A1 Salkinoja-Salonen, Mirja A1 Boeck, RiittaYR 1978 T1 Characterization of Lipopolysaccharides Isolated from Agrobacterium tumefaciens JF Microbiology, VO 105 IS 1 SP 119 OP 125 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/00221287-105-1-119 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1465-2080, AB Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was isolated from two strains of Agrobacterium tumefaciens and analysed. It contained phosphate, hexose, hexosamine, fatty acids and 2-keto-3-deoxyoc-tonic acid. Of the compounds commonly found in LPS, heptose and galactosamine were absent. The fatty acid composition of the agrobacterial LPS is unique, since only 3-hydroxy-tetradecanoic acid and 3-hydroxyhexadecanoic acid were significant components. 3-Hydroxyhexadecanoic acid was linked via an amide bond to the carbohydrate backbone. Non-hydroxylated fatty acids were present only as impurities (< 3%)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-105-1-119
