Lipid-bound saccharides containing glucose and galactose in Agrobacterium tumefaciens

The incubation of an enzyme preparation of Agrobacterium tumefaciens with UDP-[ 14 C]Glc led to the formation of radioactive substances soluble in chloroform/methanol/water (1:1:0.3, by vol.). These substances had properties similar to the polyprenol diphosphate saccharides. The lipid moiety appears...

The last two substances were compared by paper electrophoresis, TLC and methylation analysis with an octasaccharide obtained by the action of a hydrolytic enzyme on the exopolysaccharide of Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The octasaccharide and the pyruvylated octasaccharide from the lipid behaved like those obtained by enzyme action on the A. tumefaciens exopolysaccharide.
