Abstract
Pseudomurein, the cell wall polymer found in all species of the order Methanobacteriales, is composed of glycan strands cross-linked by peptide subunits. The glycan strands are composed of alternating N-acetyl-D-glucosamine or N-acetyl-D-galactosamine and N-acetyl-D-talosaminuronic acid residues in β-1.3-linkage. In most species the cross-linking peptide subunits consist of alanine, glutamic acid and lysine. However, alanine is completely or partly replaced by threonine in Methanobrevibacter ruminantium. In Methano-brevibacter smithii ornithine was found as an additional amino acid residue attached by its (δ-amino group to the α-carboxyl group of the terminal glutamyl residue.
假尿素是一种细胞壁聚合物,存在于所有甲烷菌目细菌中,它是由肽亚基交联的聚糖链组成的。糖链由n -乙酰- d -葡萄糖胺或n -乙酰- d -半乳糖胺和n -乙酰- d -talosaminuronic acid残基在β-1.3链上交替组成。在大多数物种中,交联肽亚基由丙氨酸、谷氨酸和赖氨酸组成。反刍甲烷菌中丙氨酸完全或部分被苏氨酸取代。鸟氨酸是在史密斯甲烷短杆菌末端谷氨酰残基α-羧基上附加的(δ-氨基)氨基酸残基。
