[Distribution of teichoic acids in cultures of the genus Actinomadura].
The occurrence of teichoic acids in cultures of Actinomadura genus was studied. All 30 strains examined in this survey contained alditol phosphate polymers. Most of the cultures had poly(glycerol phosphate) teichoic acids. Some of the poly(glycerol phosphate) chains bear madurose as a glycosyl substituent. In seven cultures glycerol teichoic acids with an unusual localization of the phosphodiester linkage were detected. Ribitol teichoic acids were found in six organisms.
