Further studies on the teichoic acid from <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> walls

Abstract

prostatic phosphomonoesterase. The phosphodiester (V) was hydrolysed with alkali to glycerol and its monophosphates. It follows that the teichoic acid is a polymer in which glycerol residues are joined through phosphodiester linkages at posi- tions 1 and 3 in the glycerol units.
