Studies on the Teichoic Acids of the Pneumococcus
… the mode of segregation of the pneumococcal wall teichoic acid during cell growth and division. Teichoic acid was labeled with <sup> 3</sup>H-choline (a teichoic acid-specific constituent of pneumococci) or an analogue, and its distribution among progeny cells over several generations was followed …

IgG subclasses, specific antibodies and immunoglobulin allotypes in children with invasive Haemophilus influenzae type B and Staphylococcus aureus infections
… phosphate, Staphylococcus aureus teichoic acid and tetanus toxoid. The relative affinity of antibodies in these ELISAs was determined by the incorporation of diethylamine (DEA). In order to determine the immunoglobulin allotypes ELISAs were developed to measure the G1m(f), G2m(n) …

Structural characterization and bacterial degradation of marine carbohydrates
… which was tentatively identified as a teichoic acid similar in structure to teichoic acids found in cell walls of gram-positive bacteria, were also produced by Synechococcus WH7335. This is the first report of teichoic acids in cyanobacteria. Enrichment of bacteria from anoxic marine …

Rapid Harvest of Algae for Biofuel Production with the Aggregating Bacterium Bacillus sp. strain RP1137.
… through binding of calcium to negatively charged teichoic acid residues. A comparison of the aggregation efficiency of RP1137, Bacillus megaterium QM B1551 and Bacillus subtilis SMY showed that RP1137 and B1551 are equally efficient at aggregating algae while SMY does not aggregate algae. The …

Investigation of molecular mechanisms of biofilm formation by <i>Listeria monocytogenes</i>
… production but not the rhamnose decorated wall teichoic acid (WTA), showed that the decorated WTA is required for adhesion of cells to surface. Finally, deletion of rmlA can override the effect of rsbU deletion on biofilm formation. In brief, I identified that (1) removing rsbU or sigB induces …

Determining the mechanism of protein transit through the peptidoglycan layer in Gram-positive bacteria and identifying phage-docking sites on Clostridium perfringens
… comprised primarily of peptidoglycan (PG) and teichoic acid side chains. Due to this barrier, which ordinarily benefits the bacterium in both defense and resisting osmotic stress, secretion can be an issue. Globular proteins smaller than 25 kDa have been found to passively move through the PG, …
