title: Lipopolysaccharide from Burkholderia vietnamiensis strain LMG 6999 contains two polymers identical to those present in the reference strain for Burkholderia cepacia serogroup O4.
abstract: Lipopolysaccharide was isolated from strain LMG 6999 of Burkholderia vietnamiensis. Degradative and NMR spectroscopic studies established the presence of two polymeric fractions based on the following trisaccharide repeating units: I:-->3)-alpha-D-Galp-(1-->3)-beta-D-Galp-(1-->3)-beta-D-GalpNAc- (1-->; II:-->3)-alpha-D-GalpNAc-(1-->3)-beta-D-GalpNAc-(1-->4)- alpha-L-Rhap-(1-->. The same polymers have previously been found together in lipopolysaccharide from the reference strain for Burkholderia cepacia serogroup O4 and, individually, in those from B. cepacia serogroups C (I) and A (II).
