The preparation and chemical properties of the cell walls of Leptospira biflexa Urawa and Treponema pallidum Reiter are described. Both cell walls are composed mainly of polysaccharides and peptidoglycans. The data of chemical analysis indicate that the cell wall of L. biflexa Urawa contains rhamnose, arabinose, xylose, mannose, galactose, glucose and unidentified sugars as neutral sugars, and alanine, glutamic acid, alpha, epsilon-diaminopimelic acid, glucosamine and muramic acid as major amino acids and amino sugars. As major chemical constituents of the cell wall of T. pallidum Reiter, rhamnose, arabinose, xylose, mannose, galactose, glucose, alanine, glutamic acid, ornithine, glycine, glucosamine and muramic acid have been detected. The chemical properties of protein and polysaccharide fractions prepared from the cells of T. pallidum Reiter were also partially examined.
描述了双曲钩端螺旋体浦和株（Leptospira biflexa Urawa）和梅毒螺旋体赖特株（Treponema pallidum Reiter）细胞壁的制备方法及其化学性质。两种细胞壁主要由多糖和肽聚糖组成。化学分析数据表明，双曲钩端螺旋体浦和株的细胞壁含有鼠李糖、阿拉伯糖、木糖、甘露糖、半乳糖、葡萄糖和未鉴定的糖作为中性糖，以及丙氨酸、谷氨酸、α,ε-二氨基庚二酸、葡萄糖胺和胞壁酸作为主要氨基酸和氨基糖。作为梅毒螺旋体赖特株细胞壁的主要化学成分，已检测到鼠李糖、阿拉伯糖、木糖、甘露糖、半乳糖、葡萄糖、丙氨酸、谷氨酸、鸟氨酸、甘氨酸、葡萄糖胺和胞壁酸。还对从梅毒螺旋体赖特株细胞制备的蛋白质和多糖组分的化学性质进行了部分研究。
