[edit] Source Microbe

Sinorhizobium meliloti strain RM41

[edit] Basic Structure

There are two forms of LPS: rough LPS (R-LPS), which consists of a lipid A membrane anchor and conserved core oligosaccharides, and smooth LPS (S-LPS), which includes the O-antigen (or O-polysaccharide)

[edit] Proposed functions

LPS is an important surface antigen
