Abstract—

Information is provided on the cell wall glycopolymers of members of eight species of the genus Rathayibacter (family Microbacteriaceae, class Actinomycetes). The composition, structure, and structural components of polymers that are common to the genus and characteristic of species are noted, which can be useful as chemotaxonomic characters. The differences between Rathayibacter and other genera of the family Microbacteriaceae (Clavibacter, Curtobacterium) in the type and composition of glycopolymers are shown.
