  • Title: Extent of peptidoglycan O acetylation in the tribe Proteeae.
    Author: Clarke AJ.
    Journal: J Bacteriol; 1993 Jul; 175(14):4550-3. PubMed ID: 8331084.
    Abstract:
    The degree of peptidoglycan O acetylation in 18 strains of the different genera of the tribe Proteeae (Proteus, Providencia, and Morganella) has been determined by high-performance liquid chromatography-based organic acid analysis of mild-base-released acetic acid and quantitation of peptidoglycan concentrations by simultaneous amino sugar-amino acid analysis using high-performance anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection. The N,O-diacetylmuramyl content of all isolated and purified peptidoglycans was greater than 29% and ranged up to 57% relative to total muramic acid concentration. Each of the O-acetylated peptidoglycans was found to be resistant to solubilization by hen egg white lysozyme.
