As. Shashkov et al., POLY(RIBOFURANOSYLRIBITOL PHOSPHATE) IN CELL-WALL OF AGROMYCES-CERINUS SUBSP NITRATUS VKM AC-1351, Bioorganiceskaa himia, 19(4), 1993, pp. 433-438
Cell wall of Agromyces cerinus subsp. nitratus contains ribitolteichoi
c acids, previously unknown in prokaryotic cells. The following struct
ure of the repeating unit of the chain was proposed: [GRAPHICS] The st
ructure of the polymer was elucidated by NMR spectroscopy and confirme
d by chemical analysis.
