- Abstract
Cell walls of three type strains of the Bacillus subtilis group, Bacillus mojavensis VKM B-2650, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens subsp. amyloliquefaciens VKM B-2582, and Bacillus sonorensis VKM B-2652, are characterized by the individual set of teichoic acids. All strains contained 1,3-poly(glycerol phosphates), unsubstituted, acylated with D-alanine, and glycosylated. The latter differ in the nature of the monosaccharide residue. Teichoic acids of B. mojavensis VKM B-2650 and B. amyloliquefaciens subsp. amyloliquefaciens VKM B-2582 contained α-glucopyranose, while those of B. sonorensis VKM B-2652 contained β-glucopyranose and N-acetyl-α-D-glucosamine. Moreover, cell walls of B. mojavensis VKM B-2650 contained a teichoic acid of poly(glycosylglycerol phosphate) nature with the following structure of the repeating unit: -4)-α-D-α-D-Glc pNAc-(1 → 3)]-Glc p-(1 → 2)-sn-Gro-(3- P-. The type strains have been characterized according to the composition of cell wall sugars and polyols. Application of teichoic acids (set and structure) as chemotaxonomic characteristics is discussed for six type strains of the Bacillus subtilis group. Polymer structures were determined by chemical and NMR spectroscopic techniques.
