липополисахариды

On the basis of the results from analyses of lipopolysaccharides of eight Azospirillum strains, we showed that the major fatty-acid contents in these lipopolysaccharides were those of 3-hydroxytetradecanoic, hexadecanoic 3-hydroxyhexadecanoic, and octadecenoic acids. This finding confirms that these microorganisms are correctly assigned to the α-subclass of Proteobacreria. An exception was the fatty-acid profile of the lipopolysaccharide from A.

The results of immunochemical analysis of 63 strains of associative rhizobakteria genus Azospirillum presented in this paper. Significant heterogeneity of O-antigens of strains of A. lipoferum and A. brasi­ lense have been demonstrated, as well as the high similarity of the antigenic properties of LPS strains of A. irakense. Serologically prov­ ed isolated strain A. amazonense. High conservatism of major protein antigens of these bacteria have been showed.
