Abstract
The cell wall of Rathayibacter caricis VKM Ac-1799T (family Microbacteriaceae, class Actinobacteria) was found to contain both neutral and acidic glycopolymers. The first one is D-rhamnopyranan with main chain →2)-α-D-Rhap-(1 → 3)-α-D-Rhap-(1→, where a part of 2-substituted residues bears as a side-chain at position 3 α-D-Manp residues or disaccharides α-D-Araf-(1→2)-α-D-Manp-(1 → . The second polymer is a teichuronic acid with a branched repeating units composed of seven monosaccharides →4)-α-[β-D-Manp-(1 → 3)]-D-Glcp-(1 → 4)-β-D-GlcpA-(1 → 2)-β-[4,6Pyr]-D-Manp-(1 → 4)-β-L-Rhap-(1 → 4)-β-D-Glcp-(1 → 4)-β-D-Glcp-(1 → . The structures of the polymers were determined by chemical and NMR spectroscopic methods.
