Abstract: In this paper we show that if the Stanley-Reisner ring of the simplicial complex of independent sets of a bipartite graph G satisfies Serre's condition S2, then G is Cohen-Macaulay. As a consequence, the characterization of Cohen-Macaulay bipartite graphs due to Herzog and Hibi carries over this family of bipartite graphs. We check that the equivalence of Cohen-Macaulay property and the condition S2 is also true for chordal graphs and we classify cyclic graphs with respect to the condition S2.
