These structures were removed by treatment with trichloroacetic acid. Chemical analysis revealed that after treatment with trichloroacetic acid most of the wall phosphorus was extracted but more than half of the N-acetylglucosamine remained associated with the wall. These observations suggest that polysaccharides are likely to be arranged circularly on the surface of the wall., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-113-2-421
