Composition of the Biofilm Matrix of Acneic Strain RT5.

In skin, (former ) can behave as an opportunistic pathogen, depending on the strain and environmental conditions. Acneic strains of form biofilms inside skin-gland hollows, inducing inflammation and skin disorders. The essential exogenous products of accumulate in the extracellular matrix of the biofilm, conferring essential bacterial functions to this structure.

Structures of O-specific polysaccharides of Pseudomonas psyhrotolerans BIM B-1158G.

Strain of Pseudomonas psychrotolerans was cultured on the nutrient agar and in a liquid nutrient broth. Bacterial cells were phage-typed with bacteriophages specific to Pseudomonas. O-antigen was isolated from cells using phenol-water method and mild acid degradation.

Structural analysis of the O-polysaccharide from the lipopolysaccharide of Pseudomonas putida BIM B-1100.

Two specific polysaccharides, together with an →4)-α-d-Glcp-(1→ glucan (bacterial glycogen), were obtained from a lipopolysaccharide preparation isolated from the bacterium Pseudomonas putida BIM B-1100 by phenol/water extraction. The following structures of the polysaccharides were established by composition analysis, Smith degradation, ESI-MS, and 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy.

Lipopolysaccharides of Pantoea agglomerans 7604 and 8674 with structurally related O-polysaccharide chains: Chemical identification and biological properties.

Structurally related O-specific polysaccharide (O-antigen) and lipid A components were obtained by mild acid degradation of the lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) of two strains of bacteria Pantoea agglomerans, 7604 and 8674. Studies by sugar analysis along with 1D and 2D H and C NMR spectroscopy enabled elucidation of the following structures of the O-polysaccharides, which differ only in the linkage configuration of a side-chain glucose residue: R=α-d-Glcp in strain 7604 or β-d-Glcp in strain 8674 Lipid A samples were studied by GC-MS and high-resolution ESI-MS and found to be represented by penta- and tetra-acyl species; lipid A of strain 8674 also included hexaacyl species. A peculiar feature of lipid A of both strains is the presence of the major cis-9-hexadecenoic (palmitoleic) acid, which has not been found in P.
