[Ratio of glycan to teichoic acid in Actinomyces thermovulgaris cell wall]. 1976

N F Dmitrieva, and I B Naumova, and G M Streshinskaia, and L I Panina

The molar ratio between glycan and teichoic acid was studied in the cell wall of Actinomyces thermovulgaris. A chain of teichoic acid consisting of 13 glycerophosphate units was found to correspond to 6--7 disaccharide units of glycan. The cell wall contains 31% of the glycan of the glycopeptide and 25% of teichoic acid. The content of glycan was calculated using the concentration of muramic acid in the wall. The cell wall was found to contain 1.02% of O-acetyl groups.
