The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) side chain from Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci strain NCPPB 79 (=CFBP 1615) contained l ‐ and d ‐rhamnose, and GlcNAc. Using methylation analysis, periodate oxidation, Smith degradation and 1 H‐ and 13 C‐nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, the repeat unit was found to have the structure: This structure is correlated with a previously proposed serogrouping system. The involvement of LPS generally in plant disease is briefly discussed.
