Teichoic acids spectra

Recently, the synthesis of l-deoxy-3-O-phosphono-D-glycerol-l-yl-P-D-gluco-pyranoside disodium salt 27 and its L-glycerol-l-yl isomer 31 was described 45). Compound 27 is a repeating unit of TA chains from Bacillus subtilis var. niger WM (formula 3). Both 27 and 31 were obtained mainly to record their l3C-NMR spectra to be further compared with the spectrum of the naturally occurring teichoic acid. Thus, 27 was prepared in a few-step synthesis as shown below ... 

The first examined bacterium with TERS was bacterium Staphylococcus epidermidis [110—112]. More statistical measurements on S. epidermidis were performed by collecting 15 spectra at one point per cell and five cells in total [112]. From these spectra, a single average spectrum for each cell was generated and characteristic bands for teichoic acid (a (l-3)-linked poly(glycerol...
