Glycine-containing lipopolysaccharide isolated from Vibrio cholerae 4715 (NAG).

Abstract

Morphological and chemical characterization of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) isolated from NAG (non-agglutinable) type V. cholerae was carried out and glycine was found in a significant amount in lipid A fraction of LPS. Some distinct differences from cholera vibrios in the chemical composition were revealed.
