TABLE 4.
Wall teichoic acid (WTA) in the NWAF26 and NWAF26R strains.
| Cell wall dry weight (mg/g) | Amount of WTA (nmol/mg) | |
| NWAF26 | 10.25 ± 3.66 | 52.26 ± 3.87 |
| NWAF26R | 17.91 ± 4.09* | 138.31 ± 4.15* |
Dry weight of cell wall was quantified as mg/g (mg cell wall dry weight/g cell wall wet weight); amount of WTA was expressed as nmol/mg (nmol phosphorus/mg cell wall dry weight). * represents the p-value < 0.01 based on comparisons with corresponding results for strain NWAF26 and NWAF26R.
