The Biosynthesis of Capsular Polysaccharide in Aerobacter aerogenes

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1971
Abstract Aerobacter aerogenes produces a capsular polysaccharide composed of tetrasaccharide repeating units containing galactose, mannose, and glucuronic acid in a molar ratio of 2:1:1. Particulate cell envelope fractions of the organism catalyze the incorporation of galactose, mannose, and glucuronic acid from their respective nucleotide derivatives ...
