A mutant strain of Escherichia coli Y-10, defective in L-rhamnose synthesis, accumulates109 a considerable amount of thymidine diphosphate sugars. Three of them were identified110 as the esters of thymidine 5 -pyrophosphate with 6-deoxy-a-D-xyZo-hexopyranos-4-ulose (28), 6-deoxy-D-glucose, and D-fucose. The fourth component was found to be a 4-acetamido-4,6-dideoxy-D-galactose derivative111,112 (29) it occurs also in Pasteurella pseudotuberculosis102 and its...
