Lipid A structure and immunoinhibitory effect of the marine bacterium Cobetia pacifica KMM 3879T

The structural elucidation of lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) from Gram‐negative marine bacteria, along with the assessment of their immunological properties, is a fascinating and active research field. Such studies can aid understanding of adaptation phenomena that occur in the marine environment, but they can also open up new perspectives on the design and development of new immunoregulatory drugs.
