“LP-048 showed significantly higher adsorption efficiency against a mutant strain lacking N-acetylglucosamine in its wall teichoic acids (WTA) than the parental strain at both 30 and 37°C, suggesting that N-acetylglucosamine competes with rhamnose for glycosylation sites on the WTA.”
“The labeling pattern of the rhamnose , glucosamine, and muramic acid in the cell wall supported an intermediary role for acetylglucosamine in providing the C1-C6 moiety of muramic acid.”
