Evidence for the glycoprotein nature of the crystalline cell wall surface layer of Bacillus stearothermophilus strain NRS2004/3a

The surface layer of Bacillus stearothermophilus strain NRS2004/3a was isolated and chemically characterized. The results of these initial studies lead to the conclusion that the cell surface protein is glycosylated.
