Osmoregulated Periplasmic Glucans [PDF]

EcoSal Plus, 2017
Among all the systems developed by enterobacteria to face osmotic stress, only osmoregulated periplasmic glucans (OPGs) were found to be modulated during osmotic fluxes. First detected in 1973 by E.P. Kennedy’s group in a study of phospholipid turnover in Escherichia coli , OPGs have been shown across alpha, beta ...
