  • Title: Identification of the group G antigen of Lactobacilli.
    Author: Knox KW, Campbell LK, Evans JD, Wicken AJ.
    Journal: J Gen Microbiol; 1980 Jul; 119(1):203-9. PubMed ID: 6157777.
    Abstract:
    The group G antigen of lactobacilli was identified as a negatively-charged cell wall polysaccharide. The components of the preparation isolated from cell walls of L. salivarius subsp. salivarius by mild acid hydrolysis were glucose, galactose and lesser amounts of rhamnose, N-acetylglucosamine and phosphate. Quantitative serological studies on acid-released polysaccharide and enzymic lysates of cell walls showed that rhammose was the immunodominant component. The antigen was also detected in L. salivarius subsp. salicinus but not in a recent isolate of L. salivarius, strain IV CL-37.
