Abstract

Unsubstituted 1,3-poly(glycerol phosphate) and two sugar-1-phosphate polymers were identified in the cell wall of Brevibacterium linens VKM Ac-2159 by NMR spectroscopy and chemical methods. A monomer of one of the sugar-1-phosphate polymers has the branched repeating unit of the following structure: -4)-[β -D-GlcpNAc-(1→3)]-α-D-Glcp-(1-P-. The repeating unit of another sugar 1 phosphate polymer has a linear structure consisting of alternating β and α-N-acetylglucosamine residues: -4)-β -D-GlcpNAc-(1→6)-α-D-GlcpNAc-(1-P-. Some part of the β-N-acetylglucosaminyl residues bear O-ester-bound succinic acid residues at C-3. The identified sugar-1-phosphate polymers have not been described earlier in cell walls of other bacteria.
