[Teichoic acids in the cell walls of Microbispora mesophila Ac-1953t and Thermobifida fusca Ac-1952t].
The cell walls of Microbispora mesophila strain Ac-1953T (the family Streptosporangiaceae) and Thermobifida fusca Ac-1952T (the family Nocardiopsiceae) were found to contain teichoic acids of a poly(glycerol phosphate) nature. The teichoic acid of M. mesophila (formerly Thermomonospora mesophila) represents a poly(glycerol phosphate) containing 5% of substituent 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-alpha-galactosaminyl residues. The teichoic acid of such kind was found in actinomycetes for the first time. The cell wall of T. fusca (formerly Thermonospora fusca) contains two teichoic acids, namely, unsubstituted 1,3-poly(glycerol phosphate) and beta-glucosylated 1,3-poly(glycerol phosphate).
