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‐C]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
