Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) of three regions, i. e. the lipid A, the core region, and theO-specific polysaccharide. The core region and the lipid A represent a common structural unit occurring in all LPS. The structures of the core region of various bacteria have been investigated intensively for the past ten years, and several core regions containing D-glycero-Dmanno-heptose which is the biosynthetic precursor of the commoncore constituent L-glycero-D-manno-heptose have been identified. In this review core structures are summarized and briefly discussed.
