The mycobacterial cell wall.
The Mycobacterial cell wall contains a peptidoglycan—glycolipid complex and various more or less defined glycolipid fractions. The detailed chemical structure of the peptidoglycan and the glycolipid (a mycolate of an arabinogalactan) is discussed. Figure 4 shows a tentative formula for a 'monomer' of the cell wall and Figure 6 depicts a possible 'decamer.' Then the chemistry of three glycolipid...
متن کاملGeneration of purpura-producing principle from pneumococcal cell walls.
The in vitro kinetics of muramic acid-alanine bond hydrolysis and pneumococcal purpura-producing principle generation by incubation of Streptococcus pneumoniae cell wall preparations with the bacterial autolysin N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanine amidase were similar. The generated purpura-producing principle preparation had a weight-average molecular weight of ca. 2.6 X 10(7) and possessed the glycan a...
متن کاملUnique structural features of the peptidoglycan of Mycobacterium leprae.
The peptidoglycan structure of Mycobacterium spp. has been investigated primarily with the readily cultivable Mycobacterium smegmatis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis and has been shown to contain unusual features, including the occurrence of N-glycolylated, in addition to N-acetylated, muramic acid residues and direct cross-linkage between meso-diaminopimelic acid residues. Based on results from...
متن کاملOccurrence of N-nonsubstituted glucosamine residues in peptidoglycan of lysozyme-resistant cell walls from Bacillus cereus.
The occurrence of N-nonsubstituted glucosamine residues in Bacillus cereus cell wall peptidoglycan is demonstrated and accounts for resistance of the cell walls to lysozyme. Lysozyme-resistant cell walls isolated from three strains of B. cereus indicate unusually small free muramic acid contents as analyzed in an autoanalyzer after acid hydrolysis. Over 80% of the total muramic acid was recover...
متن کاملOptimized Method for Isolation of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria from Hospital Aquatic Sources
Background: Aquatic ecosystems are an important source of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) that can cause different diseases in human. Since culture of mycobacteria needs long-term incubation, fast-growing microorganisms and contaminants in the environment usually prevents the isolation of mycobacteria. Here, we compare different treatment protocols and describe a method that increases the rec...
