Abstract

Abstract Particulate fractions of Micrococcus lysodeikticus incubated with UDP-d-[14 C] glucose incorporated radioactivity into a chloroform-methanol-soluble, low-mol. wt. compound, and into a polymer. The low-mol. wt. compound consisted of a glucolipid that was extremely labile to mild acid hydrolysis with the formation of d-[14 C] glucose, and to mild alkali, yielding 14 C-labeled α-d-glucopyranose 1, 2-phosphate and d-glucose 2- ...
