The isolation with cytidine diphosphate glycerol, cytidine diphosphate ribitol and mannitol 1-phosphate from Lactobacillus arabinosus

Abstract
Cytidine diphosphate glycerol, cytidine diphosphate ribitol and D-mannitol 1-phosphate were isolated from L. arabinosus. The method of isolation includes gradient-elution chromatography on Dowex-2 resin and adsorption on charcoal. The base:phosphate ratio in both nucleotides was 1:2, indicating that they are derivatives of cytidine diphosphate.
