[Chemical composition of the Pseudomonas solanecearum lipopolysaccharide]. 1982

P Drigues, and D Lafforgue, and J Asselineau

The structure of Pseudomonas solanacearum lipopolysaccharide is similar to those described for the LPS of enterobacteria. The lipid A contains fatty acids and glucosamine (5 fatty acids for 2 glucosamine residues). The polysaccharide part contains 2-keto-3-deoxy-octulosonate, L-glycero-D-mannoheptose, hexoses (glucose, rhamnose, glucosamine) and a pentose (xylose). Part of 3-hydroxy-myristic acid and the whole 2-hydroxy-octadecenoïc acid are linked to the glucosamine residue by an amide bond.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008050	Lipid A	Lipid A is the biologically active component of lipopolysaccharides. It shows strong endotoxic activity and exhibits immunogenic properties.
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
D011549	Pseudomonas	A genus of gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacteria widely distributed in nature. Some species are pathogenic for humans, animals, and plants.	Chryseomonas,Pseudomona,Flavimonas
D002241	Carbohydrates	A class of organic compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a ratio of Cn(H2O)n. The largest class of organic compounds, including STARCH; GLYCOGEN; CELLULOSE; POLYSACCHARIDES; and simple MONOSACCHARIDES.	Carbohydrate
D005227	Fatty Acids	Organic, monobasic acids derived from hydrocarbons by the equivalent of oxidation of a methyl group to an alcohol, aldehyde, and then acid. Fatty acids are saturated and unsaturated (FATTY ACIDS, UNSATURATED).
