Abstract: | In a novel application of an established procedure, isopycnic density gradient centrifugation procedures were used to analyze material obtained from the Westphal phenol extraction procedure of Pasteurella multocida cells. The initial phenol phase contained most of the lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and the major component had a buoyant density of 1.38 g/ml in CsCl density gradients. Repartitioning the phenol phase with an equal volume of water produced a second aqueous phase which contained most of the LPS. This LPS appeared as a single symmetrical band with a buoyant density of 1.40 g/ml. Buoyant density patterns obtained with schlieren optics in CsCl density gradients were useful in characterizing LPSs from P. multocida. |
