Characterization of the Lipopolysaccharides and Capsules of Shewanella spp.

Abstract

Electron microscopy, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyarcylamide gel electrophoresis with silver staining and 1H, 13C, and 31P-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) were used to detect and characterize the lipopolysaccharides produced smooth LPS (and/or capsular polysaccharides)...These same polymers in S. algae may also contribute to this opportunistic pathogen's ability to promote infection.
