Abstract

SUMMARY: Wall fragments were prepared from two strains of and from , and their contents of readily extractable lipid, pronase-digestible protein and lipo-polysaccharide were measured. Lipopolysaccharide extracted from , although biologically active, contained no detectable 2-keto-3-deoxyoctonic acid, but contained phosphate, rhamnose, glucose, heptose and hexosamine in concentrations comparable to those found in .
