A new neutral polymer from the cell wall of actinomycete Kineosporia aurantiaca VKM Ac-702T

The major cell wall polymer of Kineosporia aurantiaca VKM Ac-702T a representative of the suborder Frankineae, is a galactomannan with a repeating unit of the following structure: -->3)-beta-D-Galp-(1-->6)-beta-D-Manp-(1-->4)-beta-D-Manp-(1-->3)-beta-D-Galp-(1-->4)-beta-D-Manp-(1-->...

Description
Summary:The major cell wall polymer of Kineosporia aurantiaca VKM Ac-702T a representative of the suborder Frankineae, is a galactomannan with a repeating unit of the following structure: -->3)-beta-D-Galp-(1-->6)-beta-D-Manp-(1-->4)-beta-D-Manp-(1-->3)-beta-D-Galp-(1-->4)-beta-D-Manp-(1-->4)-beta-D-Manp-(1--> that has not been reported so far. This was established using chemical degradation methods and NMR spectroscopy. The polysaccharide identified in the present study provides the second example of neutral galactomannans in actinomycete cell walls. The cell wall of K. aurantiaca VKM Ac-702T also contains a minor teichoic acid, viz., 1,3-poly(glycerol phosphate) partially substituted with alpha-glucosamine residues, only part of which are N-acetylated.
