title: Structure of lipid A from the marine gamma-proteobacterium Marinomonas vaga ATCC 27119T lipopolysaccharide.
abstract: The chemical structure of a novel lipid A obtained as a major component on hydrolysis of LPS from the marine gamma-proteobacterium Marinomonas vaga ATCC 27119T with 1% AcOH was determined. Using chemical analysis and NMR data, it was shown to be beta-1,6-glucosaminobiose 1-phosphate acylated with R-3-hydroxydecanoic acid (at position 3), and R-3-dodecanoyloxydecanoic (or R-3-decanoyloxydecanoic) acid and R-3-(R-3-hydroxydecanoyl)oxydecanoic acids (at the 2- or 2;-positions). The absence of a fatty acid at the 3;-position and a phosphoryl group at the 4;-position, and also the presence of R-3-acyloxyalkanoic acid with R-3-hydroxyalkanoic acid as the secondary acid are unique features distinguishing the M. vaga lipid A from other ones.
