LPS of <i>Aeromonas hydrophila</i> AH-3.

<p>(A) Chemical structure of the LPS-core of <i>A. hydrophila</i> strain AH-3 <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0035707#pone.0035707-KnirelYA2" target="_blank">[36]</a>. The O34-antigen is linked to the Gal residue (shown in italics) of the LPS core <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0035707#pone.0035707-KnirelYA2" target="_blank">[36]</a>. (B) Silver-stained SDS-PAGE of purified LPS from <i>A. hydrophila</i> strain AH-3 (lane 1) and GalU mutant AH-2886 (lane 2) and structures of the two LPS-core bands of AH-2886 mutant <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0035707#pone.0035707-Vilches1" target="_blank">[3]</a>. All monosaccharides are in the pyranose form. Kdo, 3-deoxy-d-<i>manno</i>-oct-2-ulosonic acid; l-α-d-Hep, d-α-d-Hep, l-<i>glycero</i>- and d-<i>glycero</i>-α-d-<i>manno</i>-heptose; Glc, glucose; GlcN, glucosamine; Gal, galactose. C = LPS core, O = O34-antigen LPS.
