Occurrence of teichuronopeptide in cell walls of group 2 alkaliphilic spp Free

Abstract

Cell walls were prepared from four strains belonging to group 2 alkaliphilic spp. Non-peptidoglycan components were extracted, with trichloroacetic acid, from the cell wall preparations and isolated by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. All the components were acidic, and were composed of amino acids and sugars. Several components with different compositions were detected. The cell walls commonly contained teichuronopeptide, composed of polyglucuronic acid and a polypeptide of acidic amino acids.
