[Binding relationships of fatty acids in lipid A of lipopolysaccharides from Pasteurella multocida].

Each glucosamine disaccharide of lipid A from Pasteurella multocida contains 2 mols myristic acid and 4 mols hydroxymyristic acid. 3-hydroxymyristic acid was identified as fatty acid with amide linkage. Every 2 mols of glucosamine have linked to them 1 mol myristic acid, 3-hydroxymyristic acid, and 3-myristoxymyristic acid. The results so far obtained reflected the structure of lipid A of enterobacteriaceae.
