[Peptidoglycan type and cell wall polysaccharide composition of Cellulomonas cartalyticum and some coryneform organisms (author's transl)].
Cellulomonas cartalyticum was found to contain a peptidoglycan type different from that of the other species of Cellulomonas. The diamino acid is lysin instead of ornithine and the interpeptide bridge consists of D-Asp-D-Ser. The same peptidoglycan type occurs in Corynebacterium manihot, Brevibacterium liticum and Arthrobacter luteus. These non cellulolytic organisms are most likely not closely related with Cellulomonas cartalyticum, as indicated by the very different G +C content of their DNA, although they formed a narrow cluster including C. cartalyticum when numeric taxonomical methods were applied.
