Characterization of Newly Discovered Polyester Polyurethane‐Degrading Methylobacterium aquaticum Strain A1

open access: yesJournal of Basic Microbiology, Volume 65, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT In this study, we present Methylobacterium aquaticum A1, a novel strain capable of degrading polyester polyurethane (PE‐PUR). The attachment of M. aquaticum A1 to PE‐PUR and its degradation capabilities were verified using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier‐Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT‐IR).

Sialic acids, sialoconjugates and enzymes of their metabolism in fungi

open access: yesBiotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2021
Sialic acids (Sia) represent a set of derivatives of nine-carbon sugar neuraminic acid that occupy a terminal position in oligosaccharide chains located on the surface of cells. They are very important for several physiological and pathological processes,

Sialic acid acquisition in bacteria - one substrate many transporters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The sialic acids are a family of 9-carbon sugar acids found predominantly on the cell-surface glycans of humans and other animals within the Deuterostomes and are also used in the biology of a wide range of bacteria that often live in association with ...

Origin of Neuraminic Acid in Human Seminal Fluid [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1964
THE occurrence and possible function of the neuraminic acids in mammalian tissues and fluids is a matter of great interest. Large amounts of N-acetylneuraminic acid have been demonstrated in the seminal fluid of man1,2, bull3 and boar4. Analysis of the secretions of the accessory genital organs of the boar showed that the mucin from the bulbourethral ...

Beyond FimH: Diversity and Relevance of Carbohydrate‐Binding Fimbrial Proteins in Escherichia coli

open access: yesChemBioChem, Volume 26, Issue 17, September 15, 2025.
This review discusses fimbrial lectins found in Escherichia coli (E. coli) other than FimH, which could be targeted to treat E. coli pathogenicity as an alternative to antibiotic treatment. Escherichia coli (E. coli) is responsible for multiple diseases in humans and animals.

Neuraminic Acid as a Constituent of Human Cerebrospinal Fluid.

open access: yesExperimental Biology and Medicine, 1956
Conclusions1. The neuraminic acid (NA) content of 49 samples of human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was studied. In all instances the quantitative relationship of neuraminic acid to the cerebrospinal fluid protein was far in excess of that prevalent in serum.

Nanomaterial‐Based Optical Biosensors for SARS‐CoV‐2 Detection: A Retrospective of the Pandemic

open access: yesAdvanced Sensor Research, Volume 4, Issue 9, September 2025.
This review discusses nanomaterial‐based optical biosensors developed for or adapted to the detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2). It concludes by providing a perspective on how lessons learned during the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic may be applied for future research on nanomaterial‐based ...

Lactic acid bacteria isolated from poultry protect the intestinal epithelial cells of chickens from in vitro wheat germ agglutinin-induced cytotoxicity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Poultry fed on wheat-based diets regularly ingest wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) that has toxic effects in vitro on intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) obtained from 14-d-old broilers.

Toward the Synthesis of 3,3‐Difluoro Deaminated Sialic Acid (C3DFKDN)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Organic Chemistry, Volume 28, Issue 30, August 19, 2025.
The synthesis of protected C3‐difluoro KDN (C3DFKDN), an unnatural derivative of the sialic acid member, KDN, and key building block for KDN‐based chemical probes, is reported. Its 12‐step synthetic route starts from commercially available methyl d‐mannopyranoside and key steps include a Reformatsky reaction with ethyl bromodifluoroacetate, alkylation ...

Polysialosides Outperform Sulfated Analogs for Binding with SARS‐CoV‐2

open access: yesSmall, Volume 21, Issue 34, August 28, 2025.
Both sulfated and sialylated glycans present on the cell surface act as co‐receptors for the SARS‐CoV‐2 attachment. Polysialylated and sulfated dendritic polyglycerols are studied for their binding with SARS‐CoV‐2. In solution, dendritic polyglycerol sialosides (dPGSAs) bind significantly stronger (low nm) to SARS‐CoV‐2 than their sulfated analogs ...
