Partial Chemical Characterization of a Toxic Lipopolysaccharide from Coxiella burneti

O G Baca a,1, D Paretsky a
PMCID: PMC414913  PMID: 4824636

Abstract

Partial characterization of a hot phenol-water extract of Coxiella burneti demonstrates the presence of at least 8 sugar and 17 fatty acid residues, suggesting a complex lipopolysaccharide molecule.
