Figure 2.
LTA part structures of the investigated S. suis strains. Shown is a compilation of structures of the observed glycolipid anchor 1a (LA; R = FA (fatty acids)), its de-O-acylated version 1b (A; R = H), and monomerized LTA repeats of different nature (2–7) isolated after HF treatment. Assignment of the different glucose moieties (Glc I, Glc II, Glc III, Glc ILA, and Glc IILA) is used throughout.
