SUMMARYA serological analysis of mycelial antigens ofThermoactinomyces vulgarisin immunodiffusion with human sera revealed five individual antigens. Three antigens were proteins, sensitive to pronase and soluble in phenol. Two were cationic polysaccharides, sensitive to sodium periodate, and containing glucosamine and muramic acid.Latex coated with mycelial antigens was compared with precipitin tests in detecting antibodies toT. vulgaris;the number of positive results detected by each test differed slightly, and a combination of the two tests detected the highest number. Counterimmunoelectrophoresis (CIE) was shown to be a very sensitive method for detecting precipitins, but not for their measurement. A prospective evaluation of immunodiffusion, latex agglutination and CIE as potential serodiagnostic techniques for farmer's lung disease is suggested.

Rhodomicrobium Vannielii

The rigid layer and peptidoglycan fractions from two strains (ATCC 17100 and Rm 5) of the budding phototrophic Rhodomicrobium vannielii were isolated. Rigid layers of both strains contain protein in addition to peptidoglycan. They were free of polysaccharides and fatty acids. The respective peptidoglycan fractions contain glucosamine, muramic acid, ʟ-and ᴅ-alanine, ᴅ-glutamic and meso-diaminopimelic acid in approximately equimolar ratios except for a signifi­ cant lower relative ᴅ-alanine content. Analysis of partial acid hydrolysates revealed A 1 γ-type structure of Rhodomicrobium vannielii peptidoglycan (shown with strain ATCC 17100). An about 10-30% lack of N-acetylation of glucosamine was indicated. The degree of cross-linkage was found to be about 60% . No differences in peptidoglycan composition and degree of cross-linkage were found between swarmer-and chain-cells as examined with strain Rm 5.
