^aknock out mutants of fliC and pilA don’t display functional flagella or pili, respectively.
^b rmd (GDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-mannose reductase) knock out mutants are deficient in A-band LPS synthesis, but produce smooth B-band LPS.
^c waaL encodes the ligase for both the A- and B-band O-polysaccharide.
^d rmlC mutants display a truncated outer core lacking the 1,3- or 1,6-linked rhamnose residue and display no A- or B-band O-polysaccharide.
^e wbpL encodes the initial glycosyltransferase which is necessary for initiation of both A- and B-band LPS synthesis.
^f algC (phosphomannose mutase and phosphoglucose mutase) mutants are deficient in alginate synthesis, in the A- and B-band O-polysaccharide and display a truncated outer core.
