Abstract
The cell-wall teichoic acids of Nocardiopsis dassonvillei IMRU 509T, I MRU 504 and IMRU 1250 and Nocardiopsis antarctius VKM Ac-836T have the same unique structure that has not heretofore been found in bacteria. The polymer is built of 10 to 13 repeating units: -1snGro3-P-3-beta-D -GalNAcl-2snGro3-P-. The structure has been established by chemical an alysis and with NMR spectroscopy. A study of the cell-wall monosacchar ide composition, peptidoglycan, and cell phospholipids also provides e vidence for the close similarity of these two species.
