Erythritolteichoic acid in the cell wall of Glycomyces tenuis VKM Ac‐1250

The cell wall of Glycomyces tenuis VKM Ac‐1250 contains the teichoic acid unusual for bacteria. The teichoic acid is a 1,4‐poly(erythritol phosphate) chain composed of about 23 erythritol phosphate units, four or five of which have a 2‐acetamido‐2‐deoxy‐α‐D‐glucopyranosyl substituent at C2(3) of ery...

Zusammenfassung:The cell wall of Glycomyces tenuis VKM Ac‐1250 contains the teichoic acid unusual for bacteria. The teichoic acid is a 1,4‐poly(erythritol phosphate) chain composed of about 23 erythritol phosphate units, four or five of which have a 2‐acetamido‐2‐deoxy‐α‐D‐glucopyranosyl substituent at C2(3) of erythritol. The polymer contains O‐acetyl groups. Its structure was identified by chemical analysis as well as 1H‐NMR and 13C‐NMR spectroscopy. No teichoic acid containing a poly(erythritol phosphate) chain has yet been found in Gram‐positive bacteria.
