Five strains of Stomatococcus mucilaginosus were investigated to determine whether the organism produces a lipoteichoic acid or a lipoglycan. Crude phenol extracts were purified by hydrophobic interaction chromatography and shown to contain lipoglycan. The major carbohydrate component present was mannose, indicating that the macroamphiphile is a lipomannan. The fatty acid composition of the lipoglycan was similar to that of stomatococcal whole cells. These data provide additional chemotaxonomic evidence supporting the suprageneric classification of the genus Stomatococcus within a group of actinomycete genera that also includes the genus Micrococcus.
对五株粘滑口腔球菌进行了研究，以确定该微生物是否产生脂磷壁酸或脂多糖。粗酚提取物通过疏水相互作用色谱法进行纯化，结果表明其中含有脂多糖。存在的主要碳水化合物成分是甘露糖，这表明该大分子两亲物是脂甘露聚糖。脂多糖的脂肪酸组成与口腔球菌全细胞的脂肪酸组成相似。这些数据提供了额外的化学分类学证据，支持将口腔球菌属在一组放线菌属（其中还包括微球菌属）内进行超属分类。
