A liquid chromatography (1.6 MPa) system for the analysis of 3-deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonic acid (KDO), N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac), methyl alpha- and beta-glycosides of Neu5Ac and KDO, alpha-heptosyl-(1----5)-KDO, various sialyllactoses, alpha-KDO-(2----4)-KDO, alpha-KDO-(2----4)-KDO methyl alpha-glycoside, beta-KDO-(2----4)-KDO methyl beta-glycoside, D-glucuronic acid, D-glucurono-3,6-lactone, and D-galacturonic acid has been developed. Separation was achieved within 10 and 30 min by the use of a small column filled with a strongly basic, anion-exchange resin, Aminex A-29, and 0.75 or 10mM sodium sulfate solutions as mobile phases. This method allowed the determination of KDO and sialic acids in amounts of 100 ng (0.5 nmol) and 200 pg (0.6 pmol), respectively.

There is very little research on the synthesis of β-3-deoxy-D-manno-oct-2-ulosonic acid (Kdo) -glycosides, which restricted their widespread application. Herein, a convenient and efficient approach to synthesize β-Kdo -glycosides was developed based on a TfO/(-Tol)SO preactivation strategy using bench stable peracetylated Kdo thioglycoside as a donor a thermodynamic S1-like mechanism.

Gut bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) could be released into the circulatory system via the gut-liver axis and cause inflammatory immune response, while Cordyceps militaris polysaccharide (CMP40) has been reported to be effective in alleviating this inflammatory response. In this study, the effects of CMP40 gut fermentation on internal LPS structure formation and the subsequent immune response were explored. Results showed that CMP40 could change antigenicity of LPS of Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Salmonella enterica, and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, indicated by a reduced level of NO, IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α.

Article Synopsis
- - Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are crucial components of the outer membrane in Gram-negative bacteria, consisting of lipid A, a core sugar region, and an O-antigen, all of which are vital for survival and stress responses.
- - Modifications to LPS via phosphoethanolamine transferases (PET) enhance bacterial adaptability in different environments and contribute to antibiotic resistance, particularly against colistin, a last-resort treatment.
- - Understanding the diversity of PETs and their role in modifying LPS can provide insights into the virulence of Gram-negative bacteria and their interactions with host defenses, aiding in the development of new therapeutic strategies.
The lipooligosaccharide of the gut symbiont Akkermansia muciniphila exhibits a remarkable structure and TLR signaling capacity.

Article Synopsis
- The cell-envelope of Gram-negative bacteria contains lipopolysaccharides (LPS) that activate the innate immune system via Toll-Like Receptors (TLRs), particularly TLR4 and TLR2.
- Akkermansia muciniphila, a beneficial intestinal bacterium, has a unique form of LPS called lipooligosaccharide (LOS) that lacks an O-polysaccharide repeating unit and presents unusual structural features.
- The study shows that A. muciniphila LOS elicits a stronger anti-inflammatory response by activating TLR2 over TLR4, potentially explaining its positive effects on the host's health.

The detection of pathogenicity and immunogenicity in Vibrio parahaemolyticus poses a significant challenge due to its threat to human health and food safety, which is strongly correlated with lipid A. Lipid A, a critical component found in most Gram-negative bacteria, functions as a hydrophobic anchor for lipopolysaccharide. V.
