| Description | Lipopolysaccharides, Escherichiacoli (E. coli O111:B4) are derived from Escherichia coli O111:B4 and are a unique component of the cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria. They are composed of three regions: lipid A, oligosaccharide core, and O-specific polysaccharide (O-antigen). Lipopolysaccharides, Escherichiacoli help maintain the integrity of the cell outer membrane and protect bacteria from bile salts and lipid antibiotics. |
