Abstract |
The morphological hetergeneity of lipopolysaccharides(LPSs) and variation in the O-side chain lengths of LPSs of Salmonella pullorum, which was serially subcultured on the brain heart infusion agar containing $100{mu}g/m{ell}$ of acridine orange, was analyzed in Sephadex G-50 column chromatography and silver-stained polyacrylamide gels. The biochemical differences in LPS W and LPS A0150 were identified. Increases in the contents of O-polysaccharides of LPS A0150 than those of LPS W were reflected in the profiles of chromatography and silver-stained polyacrylamide gels. In summary, LPS molecules of S pullorum A0150 appeared to be enriched in the molecules with long O-polysaccharide chains than those of LPS W. |
