Abstract
Rathayibacter festucae VKM Ac-1390T (family Microbacteriaceae, class Actinomycetes) contains three glycopolymers in the cell wall. The structures of glycopolymers established by chemical and NMR spectroscopy methods. One of them, rhamnomannan, built from repeating tetrasaccharide units carrying side xylopyranose residues, →2)-α-[β-D-Xylp-(1→3)]-D-Rhap-(1→3)-α-D-Manp-(1→2)-α-D-Rhap-(1→3)-α-D-Manp-(1→. The second polymer, found in minor amounts in the strain studied, is rhamnan, →2)-α-D-Rhap-(1→3)-α-D-Rhap-(1→. The third polymer is teichuronic acid, acetalated with pyruvic acid, →2)-α-[4,6-S-Pyr]-D-Manp-(1→4)-α-L-Rhap-(1→4)-β-D-Glcp-(1→4)-α-D-Glcp-(1→4)-β-D-GlcpA-(1→. The structures of rhamnomannan and teichuronic acid are new for Ratayibacter and prokaryotes in a whole. The results of the present study expand our understanding of the structural diversity of microbial glycopolymers and are consistent with the data on the specificity of the structures and composition of glycopolymers for species of the genus Rathayibacter described previously.
