Identification of 4 unidentified neutral substances (X 1 , X 2 , X 3 and X 4 ) in lipopolysaccharides of Vibrio parahaemolyticus (Miyano et al. (1980) FEMS Microbiol. Lett. 8, 23–28, and 14, 145–148) was attempted. X 1 (1,4‐anhydroribitol) was found to be formed from ribitol‐5‐phosphate during hydrolysis. X 2 was identified to be 2‐ O ‐methylribitol. X 3 and X 4 were found to be formed during hydrolysis of galacturonic acid and D‐glycero‐L‐mannoheptose (or L‐glycero‐D‐mannoheptose), respectively. The chemical structures of X 3 and X 4 remain to be determined.
