| Unique features | . Major constituents of
cell wall are glycine, galactose, and L- or
meso-diaminiopimelic acid (DAP) depending on the type of
cell analyzed. cells grown on agar media DAP aerial spores, L-DAP; vegetative mycelia, meso-DAP. type of cells grown on liquid media: DAP submerged spores, L-DAP; filamentous mycelia, meso-DAP. Whole-cell hydrolysates contain galactose, but lack arabinose, xylose and madurose. Major phospholipids are diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phospha- tidylinositol, and phosphatidylinositol mannosides. Glycolate test, negative |
