A chemotaxonomic study was carried out on 31 strains of non‐O1 Vibrio cholerae bio‐serogroup Hakata, isolated in Japan, which possesses the Inaba antigen C of O1 V. cholerae . On the basis of the compositional sugar pattern of the polysaccharide portion of their lipopolysaccharides, the 23 strains isolated from the environment were separated into two groups, one (20 strains) containing mannose, glucose, fructose, L‐glycero‐D‐ manno heptose, glucosamine, perosamine, quinovosamine, and an unidentified amino sugar AS, and the other (3 strains) containing two additional sugars, galactose and a trace amount of galactosamine. All of the eight strains isolated from imported seafoods belonged to the former group.
