Abstract
A quantitative study was undertaken to characterize the cell walls of Arthrobacter globiformis. Varying amounts of galactose, galactosamine, glucosamine, and muramic acid were found, depending on the strain of the organism, the growth medium, and the stage of growth of the cells. The data indicated that walls obtained from pleomorphic cells are less highly polymerized than are those obtained from coccoid cells. Examination of isolated wall polysaccharide showed a wide variation in the galactose content.
