摘要: Abstract The particulate enzyme fraction obtained from Micrococcus lysodeikticus catalyzed the incorporation of d-[14C]glucose uridine diphospho-d-[14C]glucose into a polymer which resembled d-glucose- and N-acetyl-d-mannosaminuronic acid-containing polysaccharide cell walls this organism. In vitro biosynthesis depended upon presence diphospho-N-acetylhexosaminuronic acid isolated M. diphospho-N-acetyl-d-glucosamine was stimulated by heat-stable factor soluble extracts. reaction proceeded optimally at pH 8.2 20 mm magnesium ion concentration. after lag period 15 to min. Preincubation components with before addition diphospho-d-glucose eliminated period. [14C]N-Acetylhexosaminuronic residues were incorporated [14C]uridine (labeled throughout molecule) in an amount approximately equimolar d-glucose dependent diphospho-d-glucose. However, when diphospho-N-[14C]acetyl-d-glucosamine labeled substrate, N-[14C]acetyl-d-glucosamine only extent 1 residue or less for each d-glucose.
