title: Capsular polysaccharide of a slime-forming Lactococcus lactis ssp. cremoris LAPT 3001 isolated from Swedish fermented milk 'långfil'.
abstract: Slime-forming Lactococcus lactis ssp. cremoris strain LAPT 3001 isolated from Swedish ropy sour milk 'långfil' was investigated for the chemical nature of its capsule. The capsular material purified by gel filtration chromatography and ion-exchange chromatography consisted of rhamnose, glucose, galactose, glycerol and phosphorus. It is most likely a deacylated lipoteichoic acid.
