Abstract: In this paper we report the metabolism of hexosamines and the cellular compartmentalization of glycoconjugates in the cyanobacterium Leptolyngbya VRUC 135 by using d-[U-14C]glucosamine as tracer. Glycoproteins as well as lipopolysaccharides were detected in the cell wall, membrane and buffer-soluble polymers. Evidence is also reported on the presence of lipopolysaccharides as released polymers. Abbreviation: RPs, released polymers [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
