In the phytopathogen Ralstonia (Pseudomonas) solanacearum, control of many virulence genes is partly mediated by the Phc cell density sensing system. Phc uses a novel self-produced signal molecule [3-hydroxypalmitic acid methyl ester (3-OH PAME)], an atypical two-component system (PhcS/PhcR), and

The composition and structure of lipid A isolated from the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Piscirickettsia salmonis were investigated by chemical analyses, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GCMS), and electrospray ionization (ESI) combined with the tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). Our study revealed moderate compositional
