| Abstract: | Abstract The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Rhizobium meliloti strain M 11 S was isolated and analyzed. It contained fatty acids (3-hydroxymyristic, palmitic, stearic, arachidic acids) and sugars: glucose, galactose, glucosamine, 3-deoxy- d -mannooctulosonic acid and sialic acids (NeuAc, 9- O -acetyl-NeuAc) identified by combined gas-liquid-chromatography/ mass spectrometry (GLC-MS). |
