The structure of the O-antigenic polysaccharide from Escherichia coli O139 has been investigated with the aid of NMR spectroscopy, and sugar and methylation analyses. The sequence of the sugar residues was determined by NOESY and heteronuclear-multiple-bond-connectivity NMR experiments. The polysaccharide is composed of heptasaccharide repeating units containing 0.6 mol O-acetyl groups/repeating unit. The following structure is concluded, where Rha represents rhamnose.

A straightforward synthesis of the pentasaccharide with a readily available linker arm corresponding to the O-antigenic polysaccharide of Acinetobacter junii strain 65 has been achieved in good yield. The synthesis has been carried out using thioglycosides as glycosyl donor in the presence of a combination of N-iodosuccinimide (NIS) and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TfOH) as thiophilic activator. The yields of the glycosylation steps were very good with satisfactory stereochemistry at the glycosidic linkages.

Burkholderia pseudomallei, an intracellular pathogen, is responsible for melioidosis, a zoonotic disease. Its pathogenesis involves several virulence factors, among which lipopolysaccharide (LPS) plays a crucial role. Our research reveals that the O antigen present within the LPS significantly regulates the host immune response.

The application of plant-beneficial microorganisms to protect crop plants is a promising alternative to the usage of chemicals. However, biocontrol research often faces difficulties in implementing this approach due to the inconsistency of the bacterial inoculant to establish itself within the root microbiome. Beneficial bacterial inoculants can be decimated by the presence of their natural predators, notably bacteriophages (also called phages).

Introduction: Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-accelerated autoimmune glomerulonephritis (GN) in NZBWF1 mice is a preclinical model potentially applicable for investigating lipidome-modulating interventions against lupus. LPS can be expressed as one of two chemotypes: smooth LPS (S-LPS) or rough LPS (R-LPS) which is devoid of O-antigen polysaccharide sidechain. Since these chemotypes differentially affect toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-mediated immune cell responses, these differences may influence GN induction.
