Cell Wall Composition in Corynebacterium bovis and Some Other Corynebacteria

Cummins, C. S.

RESUMO

The cell wall compositions of two strains of Corynebacterium bovis were found to differ: one contained lysine, rhamnose, mannose, and glucose, the other meso-α, ε, diaminopimelic acid (DAP), arabinose, galactose, and mannose. The walls of a strain of C. nephridii were characterized by l-DAP and galactose. Those of a strain of C. paurometabolum and of two strains of “lipophilic diphtheroids” contained meso-DAP, arabinose, galactose, and mannose as did walls of a reference strain of C. xerosis. The results are discussed in relation to the taxonomy of the organisms examined.
