Abstract

The lipopolysaccharide isolated from the cells of Shigella boydii type 8 bacteria gave precipitin bands against homologous antisera on Ouchterlony plates, whereas the carbohydrate-containing fractions obtained from it did not. One of the fractions was obtained in major proportion and contained 23.5% of sugars. A structure was assigned to the carbohydrate chain in this material by using the results of methylation, periodate oxidation, and deamination studies.
