The peptidoglycans of Moraxella glucidolytica and Moraxella lwoffi grown on aliphatic hydrocarbons were isolated. They contained muramic acid, glucosamine, alanine, D-glutamic acid and mesodiaminoimelic acid in a molar ratio of about 0.5:0.5:1.6:1.0:1.0 (M. glucidolytica) and 0.8:0.7:1.3:1.0:1.0 (M. lwoffi). The peptidoglycans were lysozyme-resistant. However, when treated with formanide, they could be partially degraded by lysozyme. The fragments were purified and their structure determined. In both strains, the peptide subunits consisted mainly of tripeptides (L-Ala-D-Glu-meso-DAP) and tetrapeptides (L-Ala-D-glu-meso-DAP-D-Ala), most of them being directly cross-linked. It is concluded that in both strains the primary structures of the peptidoglycans are closely related.
分离出了在脂肪烃上生长的解糖莫拉菌和洛菲莫拉菌的肽聚糖。它们含有胞壁酸、葡萄糖胺、丙氨酸、D - 谷氨酸和内消旋二氨基庚二酸,摩尔比约为0.5:0.5:1.6:1.0:1.0(解糖莫拉菌)和0.8:0.7:1.3:1.0:1.0(洛菲莫拉菌)。这些肽聚糖对溶菌酶具有抗性。然而,用甲酰胺处理后,它们可被溶菌酶部分降解。对片段进行了纯化并确定了其结构。在这两种菌株中,肽亚基主要由三肽(L - 丙氨酸 - D - 谷氨酸 - 内消旋二氨基庚二酸)和四肽(L - 丙氨酸 - D - 谷氨酸 - 内消旋二氨基庚二酸 - D - 丙氨酸)组成,其中大多数是直接交联的。得出的结论是,在这两种菌株中,肽聚糖的一级结构密切相关。
