<P>Lipopolysaccharide, the outer cell-wall component of Gram-negative bacteria, has been shown to be important for symbiotic associations. We recently reported that the lipopolysaccharide O-antigen of <I>Burkholderia</I> enhances the initial colonization of the midgut of the bean bug, <I>Riptortus pedestris</I>. However, the midgut-colonizing <I>Burkholderia</I> symbionts lack the O-antigen but display the core oligosaccharide on the cell surface. In this study, we investigated the role of the core oligosaccharide, which directly interacts with the host midgut, in the <I>Riptortus–Burkholderia</I> symbiosis. To this end, we generated the core oligosaccharide mutant strains, Δ<I>wabS</I>, Δ<I>wabO</I>, Δ<I>waaF,</I> and Δ<I>waaC,</I> and determined the chemical structures of their oligosaccharides, which exhibited different compositions. The symbiotic properties of these mutant strains were compared with those of the wild-type and O-antigen–deficient Δ<I>wbiG</I> strains. Upon introduction into <I>Riptortus</I> via the oral route, the core oligosaccharide mutant strains exhibited different rates of colonization of the insect midgut. The symbiont titers in fifth-instar insects revealed significantly reduced population sizes of the inner core oligosaccharide mutant strains Δ<I>waaF</I> and Δ<I>waaC</I>. These two strains also negatively affected host growth rate and fitness. Furthermore, <I>R. pedestris</I> individuals colonized with the Δ<I>waaF</I> and Δ<I>waaC</I> strains were vulnerable to septic bacterial challenge, similar to insects without a <I>Burkholderia</I> symbiont. Taken together, these results suggest that the core oligosaccharide from <I>Burkholderia</I> symbionts plays a critical role in maintaining a proper symbiont population and in supporting the beneficial effects of the symbiont on its host in the <I>Riptortus–Burkholderia</I> symbiosis.</P>
