Pathogenic properties of thermostable toxin responsible for pathogenicity ofYersinia pseudotuberculosis were experimentally studied. The toxin exerted a pronounced polyorgan cytopathogenic effect ...with predominating degenerative destructive changes and membranolytic effect on cell ultrastructure of parenchymatous organs. The toxin is believed to be directly involved in the development of typical pathomorphological picture of pseudotuberculosis, which confirms its pathogenetic role.PUBLICATION ABSTRACT
Teichoic acids from the cell walls of marine bacilli Bacillus subtilis CMM (Collection of Marine Microorganisms) 234 (R-1) and B. licheniformis CMM 454 (1-1G-2) were isolated and characterized. These ...teichoic acids were found to have identical structures and are composed of the glucose, ribitol, and phosphoric acid residues. On the basis of 13C NMR and 31P NMR spectra of the teichoic acids and the products of their dephosphorylation, we established the following structure for the biopolymer: poly-->5)-4-O-beta-D-glucopyranosylribitol-(1-phospho.
