Lipopolysaccharide from a wbjA mutant, deficient in a putative glycosyltransferase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa serogroup O11, was compared to that from an O-antigen polymerase mutant. Results suggest that WbjA adds the terminal glucose to complete the serogroup O11 O-antigen unit and identifies the biological repeating unit as [-2)-ß-D-glucose-(1-3)-{alpha}-L-N-acetylfucosamine-(1-3)-ß-D-N-acetylfucosamine-(1].
