title: NMR-based identification of cell wall anionic polymers of Spirilliplanes yamanashiensis VKM Ac-1993(T).
abstract: The cell wall of Spirilliplanes yamanashiensis VKM Ac-1993(T) contains four anionic polymers, viz., three teichoic acids and a sugar-1-phosphate polymer. The following are the structures of the teichoic acids: poly[-6-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->2)-glycerol phosphate] (PI), 1,3-poly(glycerol phosphate) bearing N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine residues at O-2 (70%) (PII), and poly[-6-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl-(1-->2)-glycerol phosphate] (PIII). The repeating unit of the fourth polymer (PIV) has the structure of -6-alpha-D-GlcpNAc-(1-->6)-alpha-D-GlcpNAc-1-P- with a 3-O-methyl-alpha-D-mannopyranosyl residues at position 3 of some 6-phosphorylated N-acetylglucosamine residues (50%). Polymers PI, PIII and PIV have not hitherto been found in prokaryotic cell walls.
