3-O-Methyl-L-xylose was isolated from whole cells of Pseudomonas maltophilia N.C.T.C. 10257. The sugar is a component of lipopolysaccharide from which a polysaccharide also containing L-rhamnose and L-xylose was released by mild acid hydrolysis. 3-O-Methyl-L-xylose was absent from five other strains of Ps. maltophilia and one strain of Pseudomonas geniculata.

The exocellular polysaccharides of Penicillium charlesii, P. chrysogenum, P. raistrickii, P. claviforme, and P. patulum contain galactofuranosyl residues since galactose is released by mild acid hydrolysis. Antisera from rabbits injected with whole cells of P. charlesii cross reacted with the exocellular polysaccharides from each species. The exocellular polymer from Penicillium various contained no galactose labile to mild acid treatment, and showed no cross reactivity with antisera to P. charlesii. No antigenic reactivity was observed in exocellular polysaccharides modified by mild acid hydrolysis. Oligosaccharides produced by mild acid hydrolysis which contained galactofuranosyl moieties as well as methyl α-D- and methyl β-D-galactofuranosides inhibited precipitate formation when the antigen was incubated with antisera. Treatment of the polysaccharides with 1 N NaOH did not alter its reactivity toward the antisera. It was concluded that several species of Penicillium elaborate exocellular polysaccharides containing galactofuranosyl residues and that these residues contribute to the antigenic specificity of the organism.

Cyanogen bromide fragment CB5 represents the region of the polypeptide chain of hemopexin between the fourth and fifth methionine residue (residues 232-352). It contains 120 amino acid residues in the following sequence: Arg-Cys-Ser-Pro-His-Leu-Val-Leu-Ser-Ala-Leu-Thr-Ser-Asp-Asn-His-Gly-Ala-Thr-Tyr-Ala-Phe-Ser-Gly-Thr-His-Tyr-Trp-Arg-Leu-Asp-Thr-Ser-Arg-Asp-Gly-Trp-His-Ser-Trp-Pro-Ile-Ala-His-Gln-Trp-Pro-Gln-Gly-Pro-Ser-Ala-Val-Asp-Ala-Ala-Phe-Ser-Trp-Glu-Glu-Lys-Leu-Tyr-Leu-Val-Gln-Gly-Thr-Gln-Val-Tyr-Val-Phe-Leu-Thr-Lys-Gly-Gly-Tyr-Thr-Leu-Val-Ser-Gly-Tyr-Pro-Lys-Arg-Leu-Glu-Lys-Glu-Val-Gly-Thr-Pro-His-Gly-Ile-Ile-Leu-Asp-Ser-Val-Asp-Ala-Ala-Phe-Ile-Cys-Pro-Gly-Ser-Ser-Arg-Leu-His-Ile-Met. The sequence was derived from the data on peptides prepared by cleavage of fragment CB5 by mild acid hydrolysis, by trypsin and chymotrypsin.

1. The transfer of mannose from GDP-(U-14-C)mannose into endogenous acceptors of bovine adrenal medullla and rat parotid was studied. The rapidly labelled product, a glycolipid, was partially purified and characterized. 2. It was stable to mild alkaline hydrolysis but yielded (14-C)mannose on mild acid hydrolysis. It co-chromatographed with mannosyl phosphoryl dolichol in four t.l.c. systems and on DEAE-cellulose acetate. Addition of dolichol phosphate or a dolichol phosphate-enriched fraction prepared from pig liver stimulated mannolipid synthesis. 3. The formation of mammolipid appeared reversible, since addition of GDP to a system synthesizing the mannolipid caused a rapid loss of label from the mannolipid. UDP-N-acetylglucosamine did not inhibit mannolipid synthesis except at high concentrations (2 mM), even though in the absence of GDP-mannose, N-acetylglucosamine was incorporated into a lipid having the properties of a glycosylated polyprenyl phosphate. 4. Mannose from GDP-mannose was also incorporated into two other acceptors, (2y being insoluble in chloroform-methanol (2:1, v/v) but soluble in choloroform-methanol-water (10:10:3, by vol.) and (ii) protein. These are formed much more slowly than the mannolipid. 5. Exogenous mannolipid served as a mannose donor for acceptors (i) and (ii), and it is suggested that transfer of mannose from GDP-mannose to mannosylated protein occurs via two intermediates, the mannolipid and acceptor (i).
