Chemical composition of lipopolysaccharide from Moraxella bovis.
Lipopolysaccharide from Moraxella bovis was isolated and its components characterized by paper and gas-liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. The endotoxin showed a small amount of protein and contained 2-keto-3-deoxyoctonic acid glucose, mannose, glucosamine, heptose and phosphate. Six fatty acids (palmitic, palmitoleic, margaric, stearic, oleic and arachidic acids) were also identified. Margaric acid was the most prevalent fatty acid present in the lipid fraction.
