Structural variants of the LPS core of Y. pestis [11–13, 17]. (A) DD‑Hep+Kdo glycoform synthesized as the major variant at 37°C and one of the variants produced at 20–28°C. (B) Gal+Ko glycoform synthesized as one of the variants at 20–28°C; in addition, DD-Hep+Kdo, DD-Hep+Ko and Gal+Kdo glycoforms are present. (C) DD‑Hep+KoPEtN glycoform synthesized at 6°C; in addition, Gal+Ko PEtN-lacking glycoform is present. Dotted lines indicate nonstoichiometric substitution. Glycine located on LD-HepI in some strains is not shown.
