Teichoic acid composition of wild-type parent strain 1/2a3 (A), mutant HLT2 (B), and mutant HLT8 (C). Teichoic acids were prepared and analyzed as described previously (4, 12). Peaks 1, glycerol; peak 2, anhydroribitol; peak 3, rhamnose; peak 4, ribitol; peak 5, glucose (trace levels); peak 6, glucosamine (indicated by asterisk). The small peak following peak 6 represents muramic acid (trace levels).
