Aeromonas sobria strain K928 was isolated from a common carp during a Motile Aeromonas Infection/Motile Aeromonas Septicaemia disease outbreak on a Polish fish farm and classified into the new provisional PGO1 serogroup. The lipopolysaccharide of A. sobria K928 was subjected to mild acid hydrolysis, and the O-specific polysaccharide, which was isolated by gel-permeation chromatography, was studied using sugar and methylation analyses and H and C NMR spectroscopy.

The structure of the O-specific polysaccharide (OPS) from Aeromonas encheleia strain A4 lipopolysaccharide was investigated. A. encheleia strain A4, classified into the new provisional serogroup PGO1 predominating among aeromonads in Polish aquaculture, was isolated from common carp tissues during an outbreak of MAI/MAS disease on a fish farm.

In the present work, we performed immunochemical studies of LPS, especially the O-specific polysaccharide (O-PS) of bv. strain K133, which was isolated from the kidney of carp ( L.) during an outbreak of motile aeromonad infection/motile aeromonad septicemia (MAI/MAS) on a Polish fish farm.

The O-specific polysaccharide (OPS) was isolated from the lipopolysaccharide of Aeromonas veronii strain Bs8, which is pathogenic to common carp (Cyprinus carpio), after mild acid hydrolysis followed by gel-permeation chromatography. The high-molecular-mass OPS fraction was investigated using chemical methods, mass spectrometry, and H and C NMR spectroscopy techniques, including 2D homonuclear H,H TOCSY, DQF COSY, NOESY, and heteronuclear H-detected H,C HSQC, and HMBC experiments. The analysis revealed that the O-specific polysaccharide contains sugars with the galacto configuration of the ring and is composed of a disaccharide repeating unit with the following structure.

The O-specific polysaccharide (OPS) was isolated from the lipopolysaccharide of Aeromonas veronii bv. sobria strain Pt393, which is pathogenic to the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), after mild acid hydrolysis followed by GPC. The high-molecular-weight OPS fraction was studied with chemical methods, mass spectrometry, and H and C NMR spectroscopy techniques, including 2D H,H COSY, TOCSY, NOESY, H-detected heteronuclear H,C HSQC, and HMBC experiments.

Amongst spp. strains that are pathogenic to fish in Polish aquacultures, serogroup O6 was one of the five most commonly identified immunotypes especially among carp isolates. Here, we report immunochemical studies of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) including the O-specific polysaccharide (O-antigen) of bv.

In our previous report, we had shown that the free-living amoeba influenced the abundance, competiveness, and virulence of NZP2213, the microsymbiont of agriculturally important plants of the genus . The molecular basis of this phenomenon; however, had not been explored. In the present study, we demonstrated that , the -acetyltransferase encoding gene located in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) synthesis cluster of , was responsible for maintaining the protective capacity of the bacterial cell envelope, necessary for the bacteria to fight environmental stress and survive inside amoeba cells.
