  • Title: Teichoic acids possessing phosphate-sugar linkages in strains of Lactobacillus plantarum.
    Author: Adams JB, Archibald AR, Baddiley J, Coapes HE, Davison AL.
    Journal: Biochem J; 1969 Jun; 113(1):191-3. PubMed ID: 5806390.
    Abstract:
    Cell walls of strains of Lactobacillus plantarum lacking the group D precipitinogen (a glucosylribitol teichoic acid) contain glucosylglycerol teichoic acid in which the glycosidic substituents are attached to the primary hydroxyl group of glycerol. Three distinct repeating units have been isolated from the teichoic acid preparation of strain C106, indicating either that the polymer is complex or that the wall contains a mixture of teichoic acids. Walls of streptobacteria differ from those of L. plantarum and contain neither teichoic acid nor diaminopimelic acid.
