A careful examination of the low-molecular-weight solutes released during mild acid hydrolysis of the lipopolysaccharide of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (N.C.T.C. 1999) revealed the presence of ethanolamine triphosphate. During storage, the compound decomposed to give ethanolamine pyrophosphate, identified in a previous study (Drewry et al., 1971); PPi may be a further decomposition product. Evidence for the attachment of ethanolamine triphosphate to a polysaccharide fraction was obtained, but the possibility that some was attached to the lipid A moiety was not excluded. Basic compounds released during the hydrolysis of lipopolysaccharide included amino acids, polyamines and oligopeptides.

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) prepared from Escherichiacoli 086:Kneg., in 5.5% yield contained D-galactose, D-glucose, L-fucose, L-glycero-D-manno-heptose, D-glucosamine, D-galactosamine, 2-keto-3-deoxy-octulosonic acid (KDO) and lipid A. The molecule appeared to be homogeneous as tested by free boundary electrophoresis, ultracentrifugation, and immunodiffusion against ′O′ specific E. coli antiserum. Methylation studies of the LPS and also of the degraded polysaccharides obtained by partial acid hydrolysis showed that the molecule was highly branched. Sixty percent of the D-galactose units were non-reducing terminal groups, the remainder were linked (1 → 3) and (1 → 2) and 3-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-D-galactose was identified as a product of mild acid hydrolysis of the parent LPS. Fucose occurred in the polysaccharide as (1 → 4) linked units. Methylation results showed that the D-glucose units were linked (1 → 3) and (1 → 4). Partial acid hydrolysis yielded cellobiose, cellotriose, and laminaribiose, showing that the glucose units formed a glucan chain within the polysaccharide and that the glucosidic linkages were in the β-D-configuration. Approximately one half of the L-glycero-D-manno-heptose units occurred as non-reducing end groups, the other half were linked at C-3 and either one of C-6 or C-7. One half of the D-galactosamine units was linked (1 → 3) with the remainder occurring as double branch points. D-Glucosamine residues occurred exclusively in the lipid A moiety in a (1 → 4) linked core structure.

A partially purified blood group-like substance obtained from milk showed I activity with 2 of 21 anti-I sera. With these antisera, certain human ovarian cyst substances considered to be precursors of the A, B, H, Lea, and Leb substances also showed I activity comparable to the milk material. Strong I activity could be produced by one-stage periodate oxidation and Smith degradation of human ovarian cyst A and B substances, or of hog mucin A + H substance, or by mild acid hydrolysis of human saliva or ovarian cyst blood group B substance. The two sera indicate that I specificity appears at intermediate stages in the biosynthesis of the A, B, H, Lea, and Lea substances. Anti-I sera differ strikingly in their specificities, indicating substantial heterogeneity of the I determinants.

A reliable method for the synthesis of trisubstituted enol ethers (and of the corresponding methyl ketones) is described involving the condensation of the α-lithiated 2-methoxypropionic acid salt with a ketone to give a β-hydroxy acid, the cyclization to a β-lactone which is then decarboxylated (and mild acid hydrolysis of the enol ether).
