LPS is the abbreviation for lipopolysaccharide found in the uppermost layer of the outer membrane.

Explanation:

  • Lipopolysaccharides are large molecules consisting of a lipid and a polysaccharide composed of O-antigen, outer core, and inner core joined by a covalent bond.
  • They are found in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, playing a crucial role in the structural integrity of the bacteria and protecting the membrane from certain kinds of chemical attack.
