The intracellular teichoic acid from <i>Lactobacillus arabinosus</i> 17–5

Abstract

also McCarty, 1959), and the possibility that their widespread occurrence within the cell might indicate a metabolic role, have justified more extensive studies on the structure of both wall and intracellular types.In this paper the isolation and purification of the intracellular glycerol compound from Lactobacillus arabinosus 17-5 is described, and evidence for its structure is discussed. EXPERIMENTAL AND RESULTSMaterials.Sephadex G-25 and G-75 were purchased from Pharmacia, Uppsala, Sweden, ECTEOLA and diethyl- aminoethylcellulose ion-exchangers from H. Reeve
