FIGURE 8.
B. melitensis core lateral branch shields bacterial surface negatively charged groups (inner core and lipid A). The figure presents ζ potential measurements of Bm_per (no LPS O-PS and complete core oligosaccharide), Bm_wadC_per (no LPS O-PS and defective core oligosaccharide) in comparison with B. melitensis 16M (wild type strain; Bm_wt). Each bar represents the means ± S.E. of 10 measurements of one representative experiment.
