Structural studies of a teichoic acid from Streptococcus agalactaie type III
摘要:
An unusual type of teichoic acid has been isolated from Streptococcus agalactiae type III. It has the same backbone as the lipoteichoic acid from Streptococcus faecalis, but is devoid of fatty acid residues, a phosphatidyl group, and substituents in the poly(glycerol phosphate) side-chain. The following structure, with n approximately 20, was determined mainly with the aid of n.m.r. spectroscopy. (Formula: see text)
