Abstract

A glucose-nonfermenting Gram-negative bacterial strain isolated from bronchofiberoscope used for examination of the patients suffering from pulmonary diseases was subjected to phenol-water extraction. Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) isolated from the water and the phenol phase differed in fatty acid composition. Both contained xylose, glucose, glucosamine and components typical for LPS, namely heptose, 3-deoxyoctulosonic acid (Kdo) and 3-hydroxymyristic acid. The presence of sphingosine in all LPS preparations classifies the strain to the genus Sphingomonas.
