[Monosaccharide composition of Ralstonia solanacearum lipopolysaccharides].

Results of monosaccharide analysis of Ralstonia solanacearum lipopolysaccharides of the strains of different geographical origin are shown. Such monosaccharides as glucose, rhamnose and glucosamine prevail. Following the results of analysis, strains with supposedly truncated O-polysaccharide are revealed.

[Serological characteristic of lipopolysaccharides of Ralstonia solanacearum].

By immunochemical investigations of eight strains of Ralstonia solanacearum six strains were attributed to four serogroups. Two of them are formed by pairs of R. solanacearum strains 4 and 526; 758 and 7954; two others are represented by single strains--TX1 Ta TS3, correspondingly.

[Characteristic of extracellular lectin in Bacillus subtilis IMV B-7014].

The monosaccharide and fatty acid composition of water and organic phase of lectin was studied. It was established that extracellular lectin contains 15.0% of protein, 4.

[Characterization of Budvicia aquatica lipopolysaccharides].

For the first time lipopolysaccharides (LPS) of 6 Budvicia aquatica strains--representatives of new Enterobacteriaceae species have been isolated. It was shown that the yield of LPS ranged from 0.9 to 7.

[Description of bacillus-shaped spot sweetflag virus].

The spot sweetflag virus (SSV) as to its morphology and structural components in comparison with phytorhabdovirus of curly potato dwarf virus (CPDV) and rhabdoviruses of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), pathogenic for people and animals, corresponds to the definition of rhabdovirus and belongs to Rhabdoviridae family. Virions of SSV have a bacillus-like form and dimensions 110-130 x 45 nm. SSV contains structural proteins 130, 66, 43-39, 32-30 and 25 kDa.
