The structure of the polysaccharide O-chain of the lipopolysaccharide isolated from the sequenced strain Chromobacterium violaceum ATCC 12472 (NCTC 9757) was investigated by chemical and NMR analyses, and concluded to be -4-α-Leg5Ac7Ala-4-β-d-ManNAlaA3OAc-3-α-d-GlcNAc-where Leg5Ac7Ala indicates 5-acetamido-7-alanylamido-3,5,7,9-tetradeoxy-d-glycero-d-galacto-non-2-ulopyranosonic acid and ManNAlaA3OAc 3-O-acetyl-2-alanylamido-2-deoxymannopyranuronic acid. The structure of the core with one repeating unit of the polysaccharide attached was also analyzed, and it was found that the O-chain polysaccharide is linked to the core via β-GlcpNAc, as opposite to α-GlcpNAc inside the O-chain.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008070	Lipopolysaccharides	Lipid-containing polysaccharides which are endotoxins and important group-specific antigens. They are often derived from the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria and induce immunoglobulin secretion. The lipopolysaccharide molecule consists of three parts: LIPID A, core polysaccharide, and O-specific chains (O ANTIGENS). When derived from Escherichia coli, lipopolysaccharides serve as polyclonal B-cell mitogens commonly used in laboratory immunology. (From Dorland, 28th ed)	Lipopolysaccharide,Lipoglycans
