The possibility has been investigated of using the MSBKh instrument ({sup 252}Cf plasma desorption mass spectrometer) for studying the oligosaccharides of the O-specific chains of bacterial lipopolysaccharides. Experimental results on the ionization of galacturonic acid and of neutral and bacterial oligosaccharides containing NHR and COOH groups have been obtained and are discussed. The instrument has been used for estimating the compositions of fractions in the separation of degradation products of O-specific polysaccharide chains and establishing their structures.
