A) Depiction of the Gram-negative cell envelope and its components. The inner membrane (IM) contains phospholipids, while the outer membrane (OM) contains phospholipids in the inner leaflet and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in the outer leaflet. B) Structure of prototypical LPS produced by E. coli (shown is the core structure associated with core type K-12).
