Highland Barley‐Derived Polyphenols: A Category of Bioactive Phytochemicals Beneficial for Intestinal Health

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
This minireview highlights that highland barley polyphenols (HBPPs) regulate gut microbiota and promote intestinal homeostasis through antioxidant/anti‐inflammatory activities, barrier reinforcement, and immune modulation, mediated by interactions among HBBPs, intestinal microbiota and intestinal cells.

Bacterial Polysaccharides: An Overview [PDF]

, 2014
Bacterial cell wall and membrane are associated with a variety of glycoconjugates and polysaccharides which aids in structural formation as well as performing various functions in the bacterial cell. In gram-negative bacteria, peptidoglycan is majorly present in the periplasmic space and it provides mechanical strength as well as shape to the cell.
