title: [Immunochemical characteristics of a lipopolysaccharide from Pseudomonas aurantiaca].
abstract: A lipopolysaccharide was isolated from Pseudomonas aurantiaca IMB 31 by extraction with aqueous phenol and purified by ultracentrifugation. The lipopolysaccharide was confined to the phenol phase. Fucosamine (2-amino-2,6-dideoxygalactose) (36%) and bacillosamine (2,4-diamino-3,4,6-trideoxyglucose) (23%) were identified as hypothetic components of the O-chain in the carbohydrate moiety of the macromolecule using the techniques of paper chromatography, gas-liquid chromatography and ion-exchange chromatography on an amino acid analyser. Rhamnose, glucose, galactose, glucosamine and galactosamine were detected as hypothetical components of the core in the lipopolysaccharide composition, as well as 2-keto-3-deoxyoctonic acid, heptose, alpha-alanine and phosphorus, usual components of the core in Pseudomonas. The following predominant fatty acids were identified in the composition of lipid A using the techniques of gas-liquid chromatography with standard compounds and gas-liquid mass spectrometry: 3-OH C10:0 (14.4%), C12:0 (30.5%), 2-OH C12:0 (14.9%), 3-OH C12:0 (17.4%), C16:0 (9.9%). The serological relationship between P. aurantiaca strains was studied, and their phylogenetic relationship with P. fluorescens is discussed.
