GLC-MS (gas liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) after perfluoropropionylation.
Protein Glycosylation linked (PGL) gene(s)
Additional Comment
Removal of Mg++ ions in the growth medium inhibits glycosylation of proteins in vivo. This leads to the reduction in the molecular masses of newly synthesized flagellins. There might be another modification of the flagellins that is resistant to HF treatment. Halobacterial glycoproteins including flagellins are glycosylated at the extracellular surface of the cell membrane.
