 note = {Two types of LPS mutants were isolated from a virulent strain, TF7 of Aeromonas hydrophila
after UV irradiation. LPS profiles of TF7 and its mutants were revealed by using SDS-PAGE
and immunoblotting techniques. One type of the mutants was found to lose O-saccharide chain
of LPS completely and concomitantly to change to be serum sensitive. The other type of the
mutants displayed to produce less amount of O-side chains than TF7 and to be resistant to
rabbit serum conditionally. When the cells were grown on TSA containing SDS (TSA-SDS)
or MacConkey agars, the former mutants exhibited higher sensitivity, while the latter turned to
be serum sensitive considerably. The parent strain TF7 were not significantly different in
respect with serum susceptibility even if grown on TSA-SDS agar. The most distinguishable
feature of whole cell protein profiles on SDS-PAGE was observed as the decrease of 49 Kd
band concomitantly with increase 41 Kd band for both the parent and mutant strains grown on
TSA-SDS agar.},
