Trimethylsilyl methyl glycoside analysis of OSs purified from the LPS of Ft LVS LPS and the gray variant Ft LVSG LPS.

OS	Man	Gal	Glc	QuiNAc*	GalNAc	Kdo
LVS	13	18	28	36	3	3
LVSG	24	5	62	0.5	7	3

*The amount of the QuiNAc could not be precisely quantified since there is no original standard available and, therefore, quantification was based on using the response factor for GlcNAc.

Man, mannose; Gal, galactose; Glc, glucose; QuiNAc, 2-acetamino-2,6,dideoxy-D-glucose; GalNAc, N-acetyl galactosamine; Kdo, 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid.
