Chemical analyses, NMR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry were used to elucidate the structure of the rough lipopolysaccharide (LPS) isolated from Acinetobacter lwoffii F78. As a prominent feature, the core region of this LPS contained the disaccharide alpha-Kdo-(2-->8)-alpha-Kdo (Kdo=3-deoxy-d-D-manno-oct-2-ulopyranosonic acid), which so far has been identified only in chlamydial LPS. In serological investigations, the anti-chlamydial LPS monoclonal antibody S25-2, which is specific for the epitope alpha-Kdo-(2-->8)-alpha-Kdo, reacted with A. lwoffii F78 LPS. Thus, an LPS was identified outside Chlamydiaceae that contains a Chlamydia-specific LPS epitope in its core region.
