Biochemical Characterization of Mutants of Salmonella typhimurium lacking Glucosyl or Galactosyl Lipopolysaccharide Transferases

Abstract

PREVIOUS work1–5 on the mechanism of biosynthesis of the somatic (0) lipopolysaccharide of Salmonella typhimurium has identified four enzymes involved in synthesis of the core region of the polysaccharide*:
