abstract = {The microstructure of liposomes formed by the
lipopolysaccharides (LPS) derived from Burkholderia
cenocepacia ET-12 type strain LMG 16656, Burkholderia
multivorans strain C1576 and Agrobacterium tumefaciens
strain TT111 has been investigated by a combined
experimental strategy, including dynamic light scattering
(DLS), small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and electron
paramagnetic resonance (EPR). The results highlight that the
LPS molecular structure determines, through a complex
interplay of hydrophobic, steric and electrostatic
interactions, the morphology of the aggregates formed in
aqueous medium. All the considered LPS form liposomes that
in most cases present a multilamellar arrangement. The
thickness of the hydrophobic domain of each bilayer and the
local ordering of the acyl chains are determined not only by
the molecular structure of the LPS glycolipid portion (lipid
A), but also, indirectly, by the bulkiness of the
saccharidic portion. In the case of a long polysaccharidic
chain, such as that of the LPS derived from Burkholderia
multivorans, liposomes coexist with elongated micellar
aggregates, whose population decreases if a typical
phospholipid, such as dioleoyl phosphatidylethanolamine
(DOPE) is introduced in the liposome formulation. The effect
of temperature has also been considered: for all the
considered LPS an extremely smooth transition of the acyl
chain self-organization from a gel to a liquid crystalline
phase is detected around 30-35 °C. In the biological
context, our results suggest that the rich biodiversity of
LPS molecular structure could be fundamental to finely tune
the structure and functional properties of the outer
membrane of Gram negative bacteria.},
