Figure 8. Structures of the known lipopolysaccharide core oligosaccharides from E. coli and Salmonella.

Figure 8

The outer cores are shown, together with one heptose residue of the inner core. The ligation sites for O polysaccharides (O-PS) are indicated where known (reviewed in 201). The inset shows the conserved base structure of the inner core and type-specific non-stoichiometric additions to the inner core are identified by dotted lines. Residues and linkages that are conserved in each of the core oligosaccharides are shown in red. Details of the structures are described elsewhere (168, 236, 372). Unless otherwise noted, all linkages are in the α-anomeric configuration.
