An intermediate in cyclic β1-2 glucan biosynthesis

Incubation of UDP-[14C]Glc with the inner membranes of Agrobacterium tumefaciens leads to the formation of cyclic β1-2 glucan and trichloroacetic acid-insoluble compounds. The proteolysis products of the latter show a positive charge in acid and a negative charge in alkaline buffers. The cyclic β1-2...
