Cell walls of 19 Micromonospora spp. [M. carbonacea, M. chalcea, M. coerulea, M. echinospora echinospora, M. fusca (= M. purpureochromogenes), M. globosa, M. grisea, M. halophytica nigra, M. inyoensis, M. inositola, M. megalomicea nigra, M. melanosporea, M. narashino, M. olivoasterospora, M. parva, M. purpureochromogenes, M. rosaria, M. sagamiensis nonreducans and M. zionensis] were analyzed for their components. All the cell walls had xylose and arabinose but the presence of glucose, galactose, mannose or rhamnose depended on the strain. Amino acids present in the walls consisted of glycine, glutamic acid, diaminopimelic acid and alanine in a molar ratio of .apprx. 1:1:1:0.6-0.8. 3-Hydroxydiaminopimelic acid, together with meso-diaminopimelic acid, was found in many species and was isolated from M. olivoasterospora to compare the color constant in an amino acid analyzer with that of meso-diaminopimelic acid. The cell walls of M. sagamiensis and M. olivoasterospora contained only D-alanine and not L-alanine. All species tested except M. globosa contained glycolate in an almost equimolar ratio to diaminopimelic acid in their cell walls. Among 45 strains of 12 genera examined, Actinoplanes, Ampullariella, Amorphosporangium and Dactylosporangium spp. had a significant amount of glycolate in the whole cells. Based on these results, the primary structure of the peptidoglycan of Micromonospora is discussed.
