a

 Peaks identified by negative-ion ESI-MS with an m/z scan (60 to 2,200) were subject to enhanced-resolution ESI-MS to determine exact mass and charge state (data not shown).

Only assignable peaks with unambiguous exact masses and charge states are listed.

b

 A second Kdo residue, which is cleaved as a result of acid hydrolysis during core preparation (35), would be present in the intact core.

c

 Peaks observed by enhanced-resolution ESI-MS but not shown in Fig. S3C in the supplemental material.
