Figure 1

CgLM, Corynebacterium glutamicum lipomannan; DAG, diacylglycerol; FSL-1, synthetic N-terminal part of lipopoprotein LP44 of Mycoplasma salivarum; MlLM, Micrococcus luteus lipomannan; MPI, mannosyl-phosphatidyl-myo-inositol; MsLM, Mycobacterium smegmatis lipomannan; PGP, polyglycerolphosphate; SaLTA, Staphylococcus aureus lipoteichoic acid; The available evidence [29] suggests the structure of Stomatococcus mucilaginosus lipomannan (SmLM) is very similar to that of MlLM.
