Ribitol polymerization

Typical wall teichoic acids are the linear polyphosphates of glycerol-1,3 or D-ribitol-1,5. Their average polymerization degree varies from 30 to 40. Carbon atoms at positions 2 and 4 in the ribitol and at position 2 in the glycerol moieties are substituted with sugar residues or with D-alanyl ester groups as shown 7 and 2 8). 

The cell walls of Gram-positive bacteria are quite thick (20-80 nm) and consist of between 60% and 80% peptidoglycan, which is extensively cross-linked in three dimensions to form a thick polymeric mesh (Fig. 3.3). Gram-positive walls frequently contain acidic polysaccharides called teichoic acids these are either ribitol phosphate or glycerol phosphate molecules that are connected by phos-...
