Abstract
The rhizobacteria Azospirillum brasilense Sp245 produce immunochemically different lipopolysaccharides LPSI and LPSII, both containing identical pentasaccharides built from D-rhamnose residues as the repeating units of O-specific polysaccharides (OPS). In this study, we report the structure of the OPS from A. brasilense LPSI−LPSII− mutant Sp245.5, which spontaneously lost the p85 and p120 plasmids upon the formation of a new 300-MDa megaplasmid after the long-term storage of the bacteria in a rich medium. The repeating unit of the OPS of A. brasilense Sp245.5 appeared to be a disaccharide consisting of residues of N-acetyl-D-galactosamine and N-acetyl-D-mannosaminuronic acid:
