Sugars, alditols, and D-Ala composition of WTA isolated from L. plantarum WCFS1 (I), and the dltX-D (II), and tagF1-F2 (III) mutants. Panel A represents chromatograms on a Shodex NH2P-50 4E column, whereas panel B displays chromatograms on a Shodex SUGAR SC1011 column. Using pure compounds, peaks 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 were identified to represent anhydroribitol, glycerol, ribitol, glucose, and alanine, respectively. The experiment is representative of 2 HPLC analyses.
