  The specific capsular polysaccharide produced by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 15 was determined to be a high-molecular-mass polymer having [alpha]D + 69 degrees (water) and composed of a linear backbone of phosphate diester linked disaccharide units of 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose (D-GlcNAc) and 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactose (D-GalNAc) residues (1:1). Thirty percent of the D-GalNAc residues were substituted at O-4 by beta-D-galactopyranose (beta-D-Galp) residues. Through the application of chemical and NMR methods, the capsule, which defines the serotype specificity of the bacterium, was found to have the structure [structure: see text]. The O-polysaccharide (O-PS) component of the A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 15 lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was characterized as a linear unbranched polymer of repeating pentasaccharide units composed of D-glucose (2 parts) and D-galactose (3 parts), shown to have the structure [structure: see text]. The O-PS was chemically identical with the O-antigen previously identified in the LPSs produced by A. pleuropneumoniae serotypes 3 and 8.

  This review summarizes data on the composition and structure of the O-antigens, the polysaccharide chains of the outer-membrane lipopolysaccharides (LPS) of Gram-negative bacteria defining the immunospecificity of these microbial cells. Special reference is given to some structural features of the O-antigens, such as the presence of unique monosaccharides and noncarbohydrate components, masked regularity, and the occurrence in one microorganism of LPS with structurally different polysaccharide chains. Antigenic relationships between microorganisms belonging to different taxonomic groups are discussed.

  The structure of the antigenic O-polysaccharide part of the S-type lipopolysaccharide produced by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 4 has been determined by periodate oxidation, methylation, partial hydrolysis, and 1H- and 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy. The O-polysaccharide structure has a branched-tetrasaccharide repeating unit, (→3)-β-D-Galp-(1→4)-[β-D-Glcp-(1→3)]-β-D-GalpNAc-(1→4)-α-L-Rhap-(1-)n. The structure resembles that of the lipopolysaccharide O-chain of A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 7, and their common epitopes may account for the apparent serological cross-reactivity observed between the two serotypes when incompletely adsorbed, anticapsular-typing sera are used.

  The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is the major constituent of the outer leaflet of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. Its lipid A moiety is embedded in the membrane and serves as an anchor for the rest of the LPS molecule. The outermost repetitive glycan region of the LPS is linked to the lipid A through a core oligosaccharide (OS), and is designated as the O-specific polysaccharide (O-polysaccharide, OPS) or O-antigen. The O-antigen is the most variable portion of the LPS and provides serological specificity, which is used for bacterial serotyping. The OPS also provides protection to the microorganisms from host defenses such as complement mediated killing and phagocytosis, and is involved in interactions of bacteria with plants and bacteriophages. Studies of the OPSs ranging from the elucidation of their chemical structures and conformations to their biological and physico-chemical properties help improving classification schemes of Gram-negative bacteria. Furthermore, these studies contributed to a better understanding of the mechanisms of pathogenesis of infectious diseases, as well as provided information to develop novel vaccines and diagnostic reagents.

  An anomeric phosphodiester linkage formed by a glycosyl phosphate unit and a hydroxyl group of another monosaccharide is found in many glycopolymers of the outer membrane in bacteria (e.g., capsular polysaccharides and lipopolysaccharides), yeasts and protozoa. The polymers (phosphoglycans) composed of glycosyl phosphate (or oligoglycosyl phosphate) repeating units could be chemically classified as poly(glycosyl phosphates). Their importance as immunologically active components of the cell wall and/or capsule of numerous microorganisms upholds the need to develop routes for the chemical preparation of these biopolymers. In this paper, we (1) present a review of the primary structures (known to date) of natural phosphoglycans from various sources, which contain glycosyl phosphate units, and (2) discuss different approaches and recent achievements in the synthesis of glycosyl phosphosaccharides and poly(glycosyl phosphates).

  Teichoic acid and disaccharide-1-phosphate polymer were identified in the cell walls of Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis VKM B-501(T). The teichoic acid represents 1,3-poly(glycerol phosphate) 80% substituted by α-D-glucopyranose residues at O-2 of glycerol. The linear repeating unit of disaccharide-1-phosphate polymer contains the residues of β-D-glucopyranose, N-acetyl-α-D-galactosamine, and phosphate and has the following structure: -6)-β-D-Glcp-(1→3)-α-D-GalpNAc-(1-P-. The structures of two anionic polymers were determined by chemical and NMR-spectroscopic methods. The 1H- and 13C-NMR spectral data on disaccharide-1-phosphate polymer are presented for the first time.

  Anionic phosphate-containing cell wall polymers of bacilli are represented by teichoic acids and poly(glycosyl 1-phosphates). Different locations of phosphodiester bonds in the main chain of teichoic acids as well as the nature and combination of the constituent structural elements underlie their structural diversity. Currently, the structures of teichoic acids of bacilli can be classified into three types, viz. poly(polyol phosphates) with glycerol or ribitol as the polyol; poly(glycosylpolyol phosphates), mainly glycerol-containing polymers; and poly(acylglycosylglycerol phosphate), in which the components are covalently linked through glycosidic, phosphodiester, and amide bonds. In addition to teichoic acids, poly(glycosyl 1-phosphates) with mono- and disaccharide residues in the repeating units have been detected in cell walls of several Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus pumilus strains. The known structures of teichoic acids and poly(glycosyl 1-phosphates) of B. subtilis, B. atrophaeus, B. licheniformis, B. pumilus, B. stearothermophilus, B. coagulans, B. cereus as well as oligomers that link the polymers to peptidoglycan are surveyed. The reported data on the structures of phosphate-containing polymers of different strains of B. subtilis suggest heterogeneity of the species and may be of interest for the taxonomy of bacilli to allow differentiation of closely related organisms according to the 'structures and composition of cell wall polymers' criterion.

  A comparative study of the structures of carbohydrate-containing cell wall polymers isolated from the strains of the Bacillus subtilis group was performed by means of chemical and NMR spectroscopic meth ods. Polymers of different structure were revealed, namely, 1,3-poly(glycerol phosphates) with β-glucopyranose in Bacillus subtilis strains VKM B-520, VKM B-723, and VKM B-763 (= VKM B-911); 1,5-poly(ribitol phosphate) with α-glucopyranose in B. subtilis strains VKM B-722 and VKM B-922 (the structure is reported for the first time); and simultaneously two polymers in B. subtilis VKM B-761, 1,5-poly(ribitol phosphate) with β-glucopyranose and the disaccharide 1-phosphate polymer with the following repeating unit: -6)-α-D-Galp-(1-P-4)-gB-D-GlcpNAc-(1-, in which the hydroxyls at C3 and C6 of glucosamine residues are partially O-acetylated (the structure is reported for the first time). Heterogeneity of the B. subtilis group is con firmed by variations in the structure and composition of the cell wall polymers. The cell surface polymers are useful for discrimination of closely related bacilli strains and are cell wall marker components that may be an indispensable element of the Bacillus subtilis group taxonomy along with the genomosystematic methods.

  The teichoic acids (TAs) of type strains, viz.

Three polymers were found in the cell wall of each of the 5 strains under study. Strains VKM B-508T, VKM B-424, and VKM B-1554 contained polymers of the same core: unsubstituted 1,3-poly(glycerol phosphate) (TA I) and 1,3-poly(glycerol phosphate) with O-D-Ala and N-acetyl-a-D-glucosamine substituents (TA II and TA III', respectively). The cell walls of two remaining strains contained TA I, TA II, and a poly(glycosylpolyol phosphate) with the following structure of repeating units: -6)-a-D-GlcpNAc(1-1)-snGro-(3-P-(TA III'') in 'Bacillus pumilus' VKM B-711 (100% 16S rRNA gene similarity with the type strain of Bacillus safensis) and -6)-a-D-Galp-(1-2)-snGro-(3-P-(TA III''') in Bacillus licheniformis VKM B-511T. The simultaneous presence of three different TAs in the cell walls was confirmed by the NMR spectroscopic DOSY methods. The structure of the polymers and localization of O-D-Ala residues were investigated by the chemical and NMR spectroscopic methods.

  Disaccharide 1-phosphate polymers as well as teichoic acids of various structures have been found in the cell walls of the representatives of the Bacillus subtilis group, namely Bacillus subtilis subsp. spizizenii VKM B-720 and VKM B-916, B. subtilis VKM B-517, and Bacillus vallismortis VKM B-2653(T). Disaccharide 1-phosphate polymers are composed of repeating units of the following structure: -P-4)-β-D-GlcpNAc-(1→6)-α-D-Galp-(1-, the N-acetylglucosamine residues are partially acetylated at positions O3 and O6 (VKM B-720 and VKM B-916); -P-4)-β-D-Glcp-(1→6)-α-D-GlcpNAc-(1-, the glucopyranose residues are partially acetylated at positions O2 or O3 (VKM B-517); -P-6)-α-D-GlcpNH3(+)/α-D-GlcpNAc-(1→2)-α-D-Glcp-(1-, the N-acetylglucosamine residues are partially deacetylated (VKM B-2653(T)). The structures of the two last disaccharide 1-phosphate polymers have not been reported so far for Gram-positive bacteria. The teichoic acids in the studied strains are O-D-alanyl-1,5-poly(ribitol phosphates) substituted with β-D-glucopyranose (VKM B-517, VKM B-720, VKM B-916) or 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranose (VKM B-2653(T)). The structures of the phosphate-containing polymers have been studied by chemical methods and by NMR spectroscopy.
