The cell wall of Bacillus subtilis VKM B-762 contains, along with 1,5-poly[4-O-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-d-glucopyranosyl)ribitol phosphate], a novel type of glycopolymer involving three types of inter-monomeric bonds in the repeating unit, viz., amide, glycosidic and phosphodiester: [See figure in text]. Such a structural pattern of natural glycopolymers has been hitherto unknown. This polymer represents a novel type of teichoic acids.
