Amino sugar contents and phage inactivating properties of lipopolysaccharide from cholera and El Tor vibrios.
Cholera and El Tor lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were identical in respect of chemical composition except that the hexosamine content was significantly lower and galactosamine was absent in El Tor LPS. Mukerjee's group IV cholera phage phi149 was inactivated by cholera LPS but was resistant to El Tor LPS.
