6-脱氧-L-塔罗糖, 6-Deoxy-L-talose

6-Deoxy-L-talose is a sugar that is found in the cell walls of bacteria. It is a component of glycan, which are long chains of sugar molecules linked together. Glycans are important for the structural integrity and function of bacterial cell walls. 6-Deoxy-L-talose is a monosaccharide that has been detected in the type strain of Bacillus subtilis and in wild-type strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This sugar can be chemically analyzed using gas chromatography and mass spectrometry to determine its structure and chemical composition. 6-Deoxy-L-talose can be used to detect specific monoclonal antibodies against it, which could be useful for detecting bacterial infections or determining how antibiotics affect bacteria.
