The structure of lipid A from Azospirillum lipoferum, a plant-growth-promoting rhizobacterium, was investigated. It was determined by chemical analysis, mass spectrometric methods, as well as 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy. Because of the presence of substituents, the investigated lipid A differs from typical enterobacterial lipid A molecules. Its backbone is composed of a β-(1,6)-linked d-glucosamine disaccharide but lacks phosphate residues. Moreover, the reducing end of the backbone (position C-1) is substituted with α-linked d-galacturonic acid. 3-hydroxypalmitoyl residues are exclusively connected to amino groups of the glucosamine disaccharide. Hydroxyls at positions C-3 and C-3′ are esterified with 3-hydroxymyristic acids. Primary polar fatty acids are partially substituted by nonpolar fatty acids (namely, 18:0, 18:1 or 16:0), forming acyloxyacyl moieties.
