Abstract
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) isolated from four strains of strictly anaerobic beer spoilage bacteria of the species Pectinatus cerevisiophilus were tested for their lethal toxicity in galactosamine-sensitized mice, for their capacity to cause Limulus amebocyte lysate gelation, and for their mitogenic effect for mouse spleen cells. In all of these assays for biological potency, the LPS tested exhibited activities of the same order of magnitude as LPS of Escherichia coli, which was tested for comparison.
