By using the powerful separation technique of capillary gas chromatography combined with the selectivity of mass spectrometric detection, muramic acid was not detectable in purified elementary bodies of Chlamydia psittaci Cal 10 (less than or equal to 0.006%) or C. trachomatis serovar E (less than or equal to 0.02%). This confirms previous reports which suggested the absence of a typical peptidoglycan in Chlamydia spp.
通过运用强大的毛细管气相色谱分离技术,并结合质谱检测的选择性,在鹦鹉热衣原体Cal 10(≤0.006%)或沙眼衣原体血清型E(≤0.02%)的纯化原体中未检测到胞壁酸。这证实了先前的报道,即衣原体属中不存在典型的肽聚糖。
