Chitin and Chitosan: Sustainable, Medically Relevant Biomaterials [PDF]
The polysaccharides chitin and chitosan are made up of monomer units of the amino sugars D-glucosamine and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine. The ratio of these two monomers dictates whether the polysaccharide is considered chitin or chitosan.

Abstract Nutrient dynamics in headwater streams are governed by benthic and hyporheic biofilms, with carbon (C) : nitrogen (N) : phosphorus (P) ratios driving the heterotrophic microbial biofilm development through nutrient limitation. Furthermore, heterotrophic responses to changes in C : N : P ratios are probably modulated by autotrophic responses to

Chitosan is a linear heteropolymer consisting of β 1,4-linked N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) and D-glucosamine (GlcN). We have compared the antifungal activity of chitosan with DPn (average degree of polymerization) 206 and FA (fraction of acetylation ...

Quantifying biosynthetic network robustness across the human oral microbiome [PDF]
Metabolic interactions, such as cross-feeding, play a prominent role in microbial communitystructure. For example, they may underlie the ubiquity of uncultivated microorganisms.

A new unnatural heteroaminopolysaccahride, that is, α(1→$1{\to} $4)‐linked glucosamino‐2‐deoxyglucan, is successfully synthesized by thermostable glucan phosphorylase (from Aquifex aeolicus VF5)‐catalyzed enzymatic copolymerization of α‐d‐glucosamine 1‐phosphate/‐glucal as comonomers from maltotriose as a primer.

MAVS O-GlcNAcylation Is Essential for Host Antiviral Immunity against Lethal RNA Viruses
Summary: It is known that lethal viruses profoundly manipulate host metabolism, but how the metabolism alternation affects the immediate host antiviral immunity remains elusive.

In Situ Gels for Nasal Delivery: Formulation, Characterization and Applications
Drug delivery through the nasal route offers many advantages, but is hampered by a number of challenges, such as the short drug retention time caused by mucociliary clearance. In situ forming gels, which undergo a sol‐to‐gel transition with specific triggers at the site of action, present real opportunities in this field.

A Bioinformatics Study on Whether or Not Mrub_2763 gene in \u3cem\u3eM. ruber\u3c/em\u3e is Similar to the LpxB Gene in \u3cem\u3eE. coli\u3c/em\u3e and if Mrub_2768 is Similar to the LpxD gene in \u3cem\u3eE. coli\u3c/em\u3e. [PDF]
This project is part of the Meiothermus ruber genome analysis project, which uses the bioinformatics tools associated with the Guiding Education through Novel Investigation –Annotation Collaboration Toolkit (GENI-ACT) to predict gene function.
