Abstract

Summary: A survey of phenol-water extracts of 17 different and species, including subspecies, and of has been carried out using colorimetric and chromatographic techniques to demonstrate the presence of heptose and 2-keto-3-deoxy-octonate. Both sugars were found in the water phase of the extracts from strains and . Neither heptose nor 2-keto-3-deoxy-octonate were detected in the water or the phenol phase of extracts from strains classified as .
