title: Sequence and glycosidic bond arrangement of sugars in lipopolysaccharide from Thermoplasma acidophilum.
abstract: The lipopolysaccharide from Thermoplasma acidophilum is a linear polymer with the structure [Manp-(alpha 1 leads to 2)-Manp-(alpha 1 leads to 4)-Manp-(alpha 1 leads to 3)]8-Glcp-(alpha 1 leads to 1)-diglycerol tetraether as established by Smith degradation, methylation, acetolysis and CrO3 oxidation.
