Cover Story: Cupriavidus metallidurans is a Gram-negative bacterium that can survive in heavy metal-rich environments and in the human body as a potential pathogen. How C. metallidurans can survive in such different environments is unknown, and one factor contributing to its adaptability could be the O-antigen portion of the lipopolysaccharide. This polysaccharide is neutral, made of a linear tetrasaccharide repeating unit that does not resemble any other structure reported for bacteria, and it includes the rare sugar bacillosamine acylated to N-4 with hydroxybutyric acid. Finally, this O-antigen can adopt three different conformations, all right-handed helices, with a two-, three-, or four-fold symmetry. View this paper.
