Abstract
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are surface glycoconjugates embedded in the external leaflet of the outer membrane (OM) of the Gram-negative bacteria. They consist of three regions: lipid A, core oligosaccharide (OS), and O-specific polysaccharide or O-antigen. Lipid A is the glycolipid endotoxin domain that anchors the LPS molecule to the OM, and therefore, its chemical structure is crucial in the maintenance of membrane integrity in the Gram-negative bacteria. In this paper, we reported the characterization of the lipid A and OS structures from Pseudoalteromonas nigrifaciens Sq02-Rifr, which is a psychrotrophic Gram-negative bacterium isolated from the intestine of Seriola quinqueradiata. The immunomodulatory activity of both LPS and lipid A was also examined.

Summary
Psychrophiles and psychrotrophs, called cold-adapted bacteria, are microorganisms that thrive at low temperatures in permanently cold environments (0–10 ◦ C). Lipid A is the glycolipid domain that anchors the LPS molecule to the OM, and its chemical structure is crucial in the maintenance of membrane integrity and the enhancement of the membrane fluidity in cold-adapted bacteria. The of lack the O-specific polfrom cold-adapted bacteria lack this portion [6] In this case, the LPS is named rough ysaccharide could enhance the flexibility and stability of the OM. The lipid structural variation in the number or immune responses are mediated by the activation of the TLR-4 and subsequent activation length of the acyl chain can markedly affect host immune responses. Pseudoalteromonas nigrifaciens Sq02-Rifr is a psychrotrophic Gram-negative bacterium structural characterization of the LOS molecule produced from P. nigrifaciens Sq02-Rifr isolated from the intestine of a Seriola quinqueradiata. We compared structures withhaloplanktis those reported [13], which are psychrophilic bacteria isolated from the Antarctic. LPS treatments were evaluated on a gut inflammation model of [14]. and THP-1 cells co-culture to assess the potential immune-modulation activity [14]
