Abstract
The structure of an alkali-stable acid-labile lip id formed from GDP-mannose and an endogenous lipid in crude, cell-free preparations of M. lysodeikticus was shown to be mannosyl-1-phosphoryl-polyisoprenol. This compound can serve as a mannosyl donor in the enzymatic synthesis of a homo-polysaccharide of mannose.Keywords
