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 ...

Cyclic β-glucans at the bacteria–host cells interphase: One sugar ring to rule them all [PDF]
, 2018 Cyclic β‐1,2‐D‐glucans (CβG) are natural bionanopolymers present in the periplasmic space of many Proteobacteria. These molecules are sugar rings made of 17 to 25 D‐glucose units linked exclusively by β‐1,2‐glycosidic bonds.
