We describe a straightforward and simple method for obtaining pure and active preparations of type 1 ribosome inactivating proteins (RIPs). The very high isoelectric point values, characteristic of these proteins, allow this purification in a single chromatographic step.

β¦ Synopsis
A new get fihration method was developed for purification of R-type Iipopolysaccharides (lipooligosaccharides) from some nonenteric gram-negative bacteria, including Neisseria meningitidis, Haemophilus influenzae, and Bordetella pertussis. These wild-type lipooligosaccharides are poorly extractable by the phenol-chloroform-ether extraction method of C. Galanos, 0. Luderitz, and 0. Westphal (( 1969) Eur. J. Biochem. 9, 245-249) and therefore a new procedure was developed for their isolation. The lipooligosaccharides (LOS) were first extracted by hot phenol-water, treated with RNase, then d&aggregated in deoxycholic acid, and purified by gel filtration on Sephadex G-75. By comparison the conventional hot phenol-water purification method using repeated ultracentrifugations yielded less LOS. The yield of LOS by gel filtration was 30 to 108% higher and the purity was better.

## Abstract Bacterial poly(hydroxyalkanoates) (PHAs) vary in the composition of their monomeric units. Besides saturated sideβchains, unsaturated ones can also be found. The latter leads to unwanted byβproducts (THF ester, secondary alcohols) during acidic cleavage of the polymer backbone in the co
