Notes:
Lipopolysaccharides extracted from the isolated outer membrane fractions of Bradyrhizobium sp. 32H1 bacteroids, grown in maintenance and induction media supplemented with either arabinose or arabinose and succinate, were free of extracellular polysaccharide and lacked any detectable pyruvic and uronic acids. The neutral sugars l-rhamnose, d-mannose, d-glucose and l-glycero-d-manno-heptose were present in the bacteroids grown in all 3 media. The amino sugar 2-acetamido-2,6-dideoxy-d-glucose was detected in the lipopolysaccharide isolated from the bacteroids grown in both the maintenance and induction media supplemented with arabinose only, but not succinate. Appreciable amount of both 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-d-glucose and 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-d-galactose were found in the lipopolysaccharide of the bacteroids grown in arabinose-supplemented induction media.
