(A) The SCWPs from B. anthracis and the indicated B. cereus strains with a related glycosyl backbone structure. The glycosyl backbones of these SCWPs all consist of amino sugar shown in black, which are decorated by glycosyl or acetyl residues shown in gray. The GalNAc of the B. cereus ATCC 10987 SCWP backbone that is different from the B. anthracis SCWP is underlined. Strain B. cereus G9241 is a clinical isolate from a case of severe pneumonia, and B. cereus strain ATCC 10987 does not cause severe or fatal disease. (B) The SCWP of the type strain B. cereus ATCC 14579 differs significantly. Its trisaccharide backbone is the same as that for B. cereus ATCC 10987; however, the terminal glycosyl residues also include aminoglycosyl residues and Glc instead of Gal or acetyl substituents (adopted from Leoff, Saile, et al. 2008; Candela et al. 2011).
