Four closely related uridine nucleotide-peptides isolated from ethanol extracts of penicillin-treated Aerobacter cloacae NRC 492 have been partially characterized. Fractionation of dialyzed extracts on Dowex-1-Cl columns with aqueous lithium chloride solutions, precipitation of the nucleotide-peptides with methanol–acetone, and further separation by paper chromatography and high voltage electrophoresis yielded (a) UDP-GNAc-lact.L-ala.D-glu.meso-dap.D-ala,* (b) UDP-GNAc-lact.L-ala.D-glu.meso-dap, (c) UDP-GNAc-lact.L-ala.D-glu., and (d) UDP-GNAc-lactic acid. The amino acid isomers were identified by micro-enzymic and chromatographic methods.

1. This paper deals with the identification of three O-methyl sugars in lipopolysaccharides isolated from strains of the Gram-negative photosynthetic family Rhodospirillaceae. In addition to the previously described 3-O-methyl-l-xylose, a second O-methyl sugar was encountered in the lipopolysaccharide of Rhodopseudomonas viridis F, namely 3-O-methyl-d-mannose. The lipopolysaccharides of two strains of Rhodopseudomonas palustris (strain 1e5 and 8/1) contain two O-methylsugars, 4-O-methyl-d-xylose and 3-O-methyl-6-deoxy-d-talose (d-acovenose). 4-O-Methyl-d-xylose, but not 3-O-methyl-6-deoxy-d-talose, could be identified in the lipopolysaccharides of the strains K/1 and 2/2 of the same species. 2. The O-methyl sugars described in this communication were isolated by paper chromatography and identified by g.l.c., paper chromatography, high-voltage electrophoresis and mass spectrometry. Besides the genuine sugars, their alditol acetates and their demethylated (parental) forms were investigated. Optical rotation measurements and, in one case, enzymic reactions were used to establish the optical configuration of the sugars under investigation.

Abstract A scheme is described for the systematic screening for amino acids and sugars in urine. High-voltage electrophoresis is used to separate amino acids, and thin-layer chromatography is used for sugar separation. In each case the separated constituents are stained and scanned in a densitometer, and a profile is constructed for comparison against normal profiles.
