Abstract
1. 1. Glucosaminyl phosphatidylglycerol from Bacillus megaterium was converted into phosphatidylglycerol and 2,5-anhydromannose. The stereochemical configuration of phosphatidylglycerol was investigated with phospholipase A, phospholipase C, and glycero-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and was found to be 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoryl-1′-sn-glycerol.
2. 2. Partial acid hydrolysis of the phospholipid yielded glucosaminylglycerol, which was shown to be identical with
