General Information
Term	lipopolysaccharide metabolic process	ID (Ontology)	GO:0008653 (Gene Ontology)
Definition	The chemical reactions and pathways involving lipopolysaccharides, a group of related, structurally complex components of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. Lipopolysaccharides consist three covalently linked regions, lipid A, core oligosaccharide, and an O side chain. Lipid A is responsible for the toxicity of the lipopolysaccharide.[ ISBN:0198506732 ]
