Model of putative LPS structures of the Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris B100 wild type and the mutants Xcc H21012 (wxcB), Xcc H28110 (wxcK) and Xcc H20110 (wxcN). GC data indicate an elongation of the O-antigen rhamnose chain in both branchless mutants, implying that the FucNAc branches play a role in O-antigen chain length determination. The specific linkage between the rough-type LPS to the O-antigen is still unclear and thus shown as a dashed line. A graphical legend indicates the individual monosaccharide moieties
