Abstract
Strains from 5 species of the genus Streptococcus out of 31 were found to contain threonine in the peptidoglycan (murein). They all belong to the serological group D or were without serological reaction. The analysis of the amino acid sequence showed, that the peptide subunits were identical in all cases, while the interpeptide bridge varied. It consists either of glycyl-l-threonine or l-alanyl-l-threonine. In some organisms l-Ala was replaced in part by l-Ser. These peptidoglycans contained two different interpeptide-bridges namely l-alanyl-l-threonine and l-seryl-l-threonine.
