Addition of 5% xylitol to growing cultures of Streptococcus mutans OMZ 176 reduced the amount of extractable glycerol-phosphate polymers in these cells compared to S. mutans cultures grown in medium with 5% glucose added. The glycerol-phosphate polymers were extracted from the cells by hot phenol-water-extraction, and separated by column chromatography. Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) was identified by indirect haemagglutination tests and lipid analysis. The amount of LTA extracted from the cells or present in the medium was not significantly different. It is suggested that the accumulation of intracellular xylitol-phosphate observed in a previous study causes an effect similar to glucose starvation, which is known to affect the composition of the cell wall.
与添加5%葡萄糖的培养基中生长的变形链球菌培养物相比，向变形链球菌OMZ 176的生长培养物中添加5%木糖醇会减少这些细胞中可提取的甘油磷酸聚合物的量。甘油磷酸聚合物通过热酚水提取法从细胞中提取出来，并通过柱色谱法进行分离。通过间接血凝试验和脂质分析鉴定脂磷壁酸（LTA）。从细胞中提取的或存在于培养基中的LTA量没有显著差异。有人提出，在先前的一项研究中观察到的细胞内木糖醇磷酸的积累会产生类似于葡萄糖饥饿的效应，已知葡萄糖饥饿会影响细胞壁的组成。
