Three different oligosaccharide structures from the lipooligosaccharide fraction of Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain A1 were determined by means of chemical and spectrometrical methods. The peculiar feature of this oligosaccharide family consisted of its unusual length, that was very close to the that minimal requested for the external membrane functionality as exemplified from oligosaccharide 3 , where the inner core is glycosylated from only one sugar moiety onwards.
