Abstract
The cell surface of E. coli
initial parent strain K12 J62 his+, acquiring the capacity for
synthesizing primary S-specific side chains of the lipopolysaccharide of
S. flexneri O-antigen (group specific factor 3,4), was studied by
the method of atomic force microscopy. The comparative analysis of the
images of the genetically linked pair of E. coli strains K12 J62
revealed the presence of essential differences in the topography of the
surface structure of the compared bacterial cells, differing in their capacity
for synthesizing S. flexneri factor 3,4 represented by repeating
chains of L-rhamnose and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine.
