    Abstract:
    Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and its structural components: lipid A, O-specific polysaccharide (O-PS) and oligosaccharide core (OG-core) have been isolated from Cytophaga lytica. 3-Oxytetradecanoic (40.8%) and dodecanoic (28.7%) are the predominant fatty acids of lipid A; pentadecanoic (6.8%), 3-oxyhexadecanoic (6.5%) as well as hexadecanoic (5.4%) acids have been found as well. The content of the rest of fatty acids is inconsiderable (2.3 to 0.5%). OG-core contained monosaccharides both typical of the most Gram-negative bacteria (glucose, mannose, galactose, rhamnose, glucosamine) and rarely occurring one-arabinose. O-PS is represented by glucose, mannose, rhamnose, glucosamine, galactosamine as well as unidentified hexosamine.
