Cell Wall of Mycobacterium lepraemurium Strain Hawaii
AUTOR(ES)
Azuma, Ichiro
RESUMO
The chemical properties of the cell wall of Mycobacterium lepraemurium strain Hawaii were investigated. Five subunits of the cell wall, arabinose mycolate, mycolic acids, tetrapeptide (Ala-Gln-diaminopimelic acid-Ala), disaccharide (N-acetylglucosaminyl-β-1,4-N-glycolylmuramic acid), and arabinogalactan, were obtained, and their chemical structures were identified.
