Bacterial Polysaccharide Capsules

open access: yes, 2010
A common feature of many bacteria is the expression of a layer of extracellular polysaccharide usually organised into a discrete structure termed the capsule. The expression of a capsule results in the coating of the bacterium in a hydrated shell of high molecular weight polysaccharide molecules that mediate interactions between the bacterial cell and ...

Cultivation of bacterial with ecological capsules in space

Advances in Space Research, 1999
Abstract A hermetically materially-closed aquatic microcosm containing bacteria, algae, and invertebrates was developed as a tool for determining the changes of ecological systems in space. The species composition was maintained for more than 365 days. The microcosm could be readily replicated.

Visualization of the Bacterial Polysaccharide Capsule

1990
The highly hydrated capsule of E. coli strains is composed of a large number of polysaccharide fibers of which the thinnest measure about 2 nm in width. The fibers may span the entire distance from the outer membrane to the outer rim of the capsule and show a propensity to associate with each other to form thicker filaments. Presence of thick filaments

The Role of Bacterial Polysaccharide Capsules as Virulence Factors

1990
Carbohydrates are universally present on the surface of living cells. On eukaryotic cells, many different carbohydrates are attached as glycoproteins and glycolipids; the oligosaccharide moieties are known to act as receptors and it seems likely that they play an important role in cell-to-cell recognition processes.
