Surface Characteristics
The bacterial surface lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is composed of three parts: (1) lipid A, (2) core polysaccharide, and (3) O antigen. The lipid A region contains two glucosamine sugar derivatives, each with three fatty acids and phosphate or pyrophosphate attached. The core polysaccharide has KDO and attached to lipid A. The side chain O is small polysaccharide chain extending outward from the core, it has several peculiar sugars and varies in composition between bacterial strains.
