Reconstitution of signaling in bacterial chemotaxis.

abstract：:The cell wall lipopolysaccharides from 17 species belonging to the genus Xanthomonas were extracted from the cells with hot 45% phenol. After purification, the components of the polysaccharide were obtained by acid hydrolysis of the lipopolysaccharide and were quantitatively assayed. Data obtained show that all prepar...
