Structural elucidation of a novel core oligosaccharide backbone of the lipopolysaccharide from the new bacterial species Agrobacterium larrymoorei Original Research Article

Agrobacterium larrymoorei is a Gram-negative phytopathogenic bacterium, which produces tumours on Ficus benjamina plants and differs from other Agrobacteria both genetically and biochemically. The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of Agrobacteria. The present paper is the first rep
