ABSTRACT

SMITH, E. J. (Duke University, Durham, N.C.), J. M. LEATHERWOOD, AND R. W. WHEAT. Isolation of a new amino sugar from Chromobacterium violaceum. J. Bacteriol. 84:1007–1010. 1962.—An investigation of the amino sugars and reducing compounds of a lipopolysaccharide of Chromobacterium violaceum revealed the presence of a previously unreported cationic reducing compound. Evidence indicates that the compound is a 6-deoxyhexosamine with an amino group at other than the C-2 position.
