From R4, and from some deeper rough mutants of it, the cell wall lipopolysaccharides were isolated and subjected to mild acid hydrolysis. By methylation/g.l.c./m.s. and other analyses of the core oligosaccharides thus obtained, the primary structure of the R4 core (hexose and heptose region) was elucidated:
