... that the OSs from the wild-type strain consisted of terminal-, 2-, 4-, and 3,4,6-linked glucosyl residues, terminal- and 4-linkedgalactosyl residues, and a terminal-linked N-acetylglu-cosaminosyl ... mutant contained a truncated core OS and consisted of a linker (Glc-Kdo2)-lipid A structure. The phenotype of this mutant was examined to investigate the roles of different moieties of the LOS ... MALDI-TOF-MS of de-O-acylated LOSfrom the mutant and glycosyl composition, linkage, and NMR analysis of its OS indicated that the LOS contained a truncated core OS and consisted of a Glc-Kdo2(linker)-lipid...
