Two lipoteichoic acids, membrane (MLTA) and wall (WLTA), have been purified from Streptococcus sanguis by Sepharose and Ecteola-cellulose column chromatographies and concanavalin A-conjugated Sepharose affinity column chromatography. The teichoic acids were homogenous as judged by disc gel electrophoresis, column chromatography, and double diffusion tests. Both MLTA and WLTA consisted of glycer...

Previous studies indicated that the teichoic acid isolated from strains of Streptococcus sanguis was group specific and defined the Lancefield group H streptococci. To determine the specific antigenic determinants, the antigen was extracted from a group H streptococcus (ATCC 903) by the phenol-water method and purified by column chromatography. The isolated antigen had a glycerol/phosphate/gluc...

1. Particulate enzyme preparations obtained from Bacillus stearothermophilus B65 by digestion with lysozyme were shown to catalyse teichoic acid synthesis. With CDP-glycerol as sole substrate the preparations synthesized 1,3-poly(glycerol phosphate). It was characterized by alkaline hydrolysis, by glucosylation to the alkali-stable 2-glucosyl-1,3-poly(glycerol phosphate) with excess of UDP-gluc...

Oil methanolysis over modified CaO catalysts was studied to assess the catalytic performance and define an appropriate kinetic model. by commercial glycerol a deep eutectic solvent (DES), choline chloride : (ChCl Gly), obtain catalytically active complexes of glycerol. The main goal investigate effect obtained on reaction rate fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) content describe variation triacylgly...

Tungstophosphoric acid (H3PW12O40) supported on silica-coated magnetite nanoparticles has been prepared and used as a heterogeneous catalyst (Fe3O4@SiO2@HPW) in the condensation of benzaldehyde (B) with glycerol (Gly) for production cyclic acetals. Physicochemical techniques, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission (TEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), X-ray ...

In the present work, we have developed a highly efficient temperature-dependent chemo-enzymatic methodology for the regioselective synthesis of novel esters of glycerol, G1 tri-glycerol dendrons and related esters for the first time using 4-nitrophenyl 2-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)acetate (Boc-gly-Ph-pNO(2)) (2) as the acylating agent. This methodology offers efficient and controlled loading of amino...

Several physicochemical properties of the teichoic acid of Bacillus subtilis 168 have been determined. The teichoic acid partial specific volume was found to be 0.57 ml/g. The apparent weight-average molecular weight of the polymer was 24,800. Sedimentation was strongly dependent on solvent. The sedimentation coefficient of the teichoic acid was found to have a value of s(20.w) (0) = 1.90S. In ...
