Structural studies of the teichoic acids from Bacillus licheniformis

Three teichoic acids have been isolated from Bacillus licheniformis. Their structures were found to be 1,3 poly(glycerolphosphate), → 3)- α- d-Gal p-(1 → 1)- l-glycerol-(3 → phosphate, and → 3)-[ β- d-Glc p-(1 → 2)]- α- d-Gal p-(1 → 1)- l-glycerol-(3 → phosphate. Without separating the individual te...

Description
Summary:	Three teichoic acids have been isolated from Bacillus licheniformis. Their structures were found to be 1,3 poly(glycerolphosphate), → 3)- α- d-Gal p-(1 → 1)- l-glycerol-(3 → phosphate, and → 3)-[ β- d-Glc p-(1 → 2)]- α- d-Gal p-(1 → 1)- l-glycerol-(3 → phosphate. Without separating the individual teichoic acids, and despite their high molecular weight, these polysaccharides could be identified by modern NMR techniques alone.
