Poly(arabitol phosphate) teichoic acid in the cell wall of Agromyces cerinus subsp. cerinus VKM Ac-1340T

On the basis of NMR studies and analysis of the products of acid and alkaline hydrolyses the following structures were established for the repeating units of poly(arabitol phosphate) teichoic acid: α-6-deoxy-l-Talp-(1 → 3)-β-d-GIcpNAc-(1 → 2)-α-l-Rhap-(1 → 4(2)-d-Arabitol-PO4 and β-d-GlcpNAc-(1 → 2)...

Description
Summary:On the basis of NMR studies and analysis of the products of acid and alkaline hydrolyses the following structures were established for the repeating units of poly(arabitol phosphate) teichoic acid: α-6-deoxy-l-Talp-(1 → 3)-β-d-GIcpNAc-(1 → 2)-α-l-Rhap-(1 → 4(2)-d-Arabitol-PO4 and β-d-GlcpNAc-(1 → 2)-α-l-Rhap-(1 → 4(2)-d-arabitol-PO4. The molar ratio of these units is about 1.2:1.0, respectively. Poly(arabitol phosphate) teichoic acid is here reported in bacterial cell walls for the first time.
