The "missing" typical Rhizobium leguminosarum O antigen is attached to a fatty acylated glycerol in R. leguminosarum bv. trifolii 4S, a strain that also lacks the usual tetrasaccharide "core" component

Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii 4S has a lipopolysaccharide O antigen that lacks galactose and many of the typical glycosyl components found in related strains. Here, we show that it also lacks the typical core tetrasaccharide but synthesizes an alternative glycolipid that contains galactose and the typical O-antigen glycosyl components, suggesting that in this strain, the O antigen is transferred to an alternative lipid acceptor.
