Soluble O16-antigen LPS complex delays T4 bacteriophage adsorption to Escherichia coli K-12 MG1655

MG1655 is an Escherichia coli K-12 strain that does not express O-antigen, a distal sugar component of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on Gram-negative bacteria. DFB1655 L9 is an isogenic strain of MG1655 with O16-antigen expression restored. Studies have shown that DFB1655 L9 is resist...
