Abstract

The present paper deals with the isolation, and chemical and serological characterization of the O-antigens (lipopolysaccharides, LPS) of the photosynthetic gram-negative bacterium Rhodopseudomonas viridis. The LPS are extractable with hot phenol/water, but unlike the phenol-soluble LPS of the closely related species Rhodopseudomonas palustris, the R. viridis O-antigens are preferentially extracted into the water phase. A mixture of phenol/chloroform/petroleum ether (PCP-method) does not extract the R. viridis LPS.
