Chemical analysis was carried out on lipopolysaccharides from Vibrio cholerae bio‐serogroup Hakata 487–85. The O‐specific chain of the phenol‐soluble lipopolysaccharides was demonstrated by 13 C‐NMR spectroscopy and methylation analysis to contain a linear homopolymer of α(l→2) linked N ‐acetylperosamine (4‐acctamido‐4,6‐dideoxy‐D‐mannopyranose), which was closely similar to but not identical to a linear α(l→2) linked N‐3‐deoxy‐L‐glycerotetronyl (S‐2,4‐dihydroxy‐butyryl) perosamine‐homopolymer constituting that of Ol Vibrio cholerae lipopolysaccharides.
