Abstract
The existence of two ribitol teichoic acids (polyribitol phosphate and glucosyl polyribitol phosphate) in the wall of Bacillus subtilis W-23 has been demonstrated by immunological means. Some of the properties of the UDP- d-glucose polyribitol phosphate glucosyl transferase of this organism have been described, and in particular it has been shown that this enzyme will use the polyribitol phosphate from the cell wall as a glucosyl acceptor. These data have suggested the presence of two distinct teichoic acid-synthesizing systems in this organism.
