This review summarizes data on the structure of the core of bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS), an oligosaccharide which binds the lipid moiety of LPS to the O-antigenic polysaccharide chain. Both S-strains with complete LPS and R-mutants having various defects of core biosynthesis are considered. The role of the core in the functioning of the outer membrane and in the manifestation of antigenic specificity of LPS is discussed.
