Abstract
The structure of cell wall teichoic acids was studied by chemical methods and NMR spectroscopy in the type strains of two actinomycete species of the “Streptomyces griseoviridis” phenetic cluster: streptomyces daghestanicus and streptomyces murinus. S. daghestanicus VKM Ac-1722t contained two polymers having a 1,5-poly(ribitol phosphate) structure. In one of them, the ribitol units had α-rhamnopyranose and 3-O-methyl-α-rhamnopyranose substituents; in the other, each ribitol unit was carrying 2,4-ketal-bound pyruvic acid. Such polymers were earlier found in the cell walls of Streptomyces roseolus and Nocardiopsis albus, respectively; however, their simultaneous presence in the cell wall has never been reported. The cell wall teichoic acid of Streptomyces murinus INA-00524T was a 1,5-poly(glucosylpolyol phosphate), whose repeating unit was [-6)-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-glycerol phosphate-(3-P-]. Such a teichoic acid was earlier found in Spirilliplanes yamanashiensis. The 13C NMR spectrum of this polymer is presented for the first time. The results of the present investigation, together with earlier published data, show that the type strains of four species of the “Streptomyces griseoviridis” phenetic cluster differ in the composition and structure of their teichoic acids; thus, teichoic acids may serve as chemotaxonomic markers of the species.
