Novel teichulosonic acid with the repeating unit →6)-β-D-GlcpNAc-(1→8)-α-Kdn-(2→ has been found in the cell walls of two Arthrobacter strains, VKM Ac-2549 and VKM Ac-2550. The teichulosonic acid was revealed in representatives of the genus Arthrobacter for the first time. Two other polymers identified in the above strains were poly(monoglycosyl 1-phosphate) and poly(diglycosyl 1-phosphate) of hitherto unknown structures, i.e., -6)-α-D-GalpNAc-(1-P-, and -6)-β-D-GlcpNAc-(1→3)-α-D-Galp-(1-P-. The structures of all three polymers were established by using chemical, NMR spectroscopic and ESI-MS methods. The strains studied in this work differ in the cell wall composition from the type strain of phylogenetically closely related species A. crystallopoietes which was reported to contain a teichoic acid and supposedly had a glycosyl 1-phosphate polymer.
