– Lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) were extracted by phenol‐water From three oral strains of Selenomonas. The preparations were tested for the ability to induce a blastogenic response in cultures of spleen cells from normal and nude BALB/c mice, to activate guinea pig complement and the clotting enzyme system of Limulus polyphemus amoebocytes, and to kill Actinomycin‐D treated mice. The capacity of the three LPSs was comparable to that of enterobacterial LPS.
