The derivative (9) of 3,6-dideoxy-a-D-xyIo-hexopyranose (abequose) was isolated from a strain of Salmonella typhimurium,16 that (10) of 3,6-dideoxy-a-D-nfco-hexopyranose (paratose) from Salmonella paratyphi,54 and a mixture of 10 and the ester (11) of 3,6-dideoxy-a-D-arabino-hexopyranose (tyvelose) from Salmonella enteritidis.,6 It was shown that these derivatives are formed from cytidine 5 -(a-D-glu-copyranosyl pyrophosphate) by treatment with nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) in the presence of cell extracts of the respective bacterial strain. For example, formation of 9 is characteristic of preparations from Salmonella, group B,55,56 or Pasteurella pseudotuberculosis, type II.56 The derivative 10 was obtained with extracts of Salmonella, group A,56 and Pasteurella pseudotuberculosis, type I and III,56 and a mixture of 10 and 11 with those of Salmonella, group D,55-60 or Pasteurella pseudotuberculosis, type IV 56.59,60 Under similar conditions, the ester (12) of cytidine 5 -pyro-... 

Whether the synthesis or storage of provitamin D3 can occur in the human is uncertain, but it can certainly occur in animals. Glover et al. (G3) have shown that this provitamin is present in the tissues even when the animals are fed on a practically sterol-free diet. The conclusion is reached that the animal is not dependent on dietary provitamin D but has the power to synthesize it from cholesterol. The small intestine is especially rich in provitamin. The same authors noted that, in the guinea pig, infection of the liver with Pasteurella pseudotuberculosis is associated with an increased concentration of provitamin in the intestinal mucosa, an interesting observation in view of the possible role of infection in idiopathic hypercalcemia in infancy.

Analysis of a hydrolyzate of the lipopolysaccharide from Pasteurella pseudotuberculosis Group IIA, by g.l.c. of the derived alditol acetates, revealed an unknown component. Mass spectrometry of the alditol acetate obtained after reduction with sodium borodeuteride showed a fragmentation mode compatible with the alditol acetate from a 6-deoxy-heptose. The sugar was subsequently identified as 6-deoxy-D-manno-heptose. ...
