Bacterial polysaccharide synthesis and gene nomenclature
Trends in Microbiology, 1996Gene nomenclature for bacterial surface polysaccharides is complicated by the large number of structures and genes. We propose a scheme applicable to all species that distinguishes different classes of genes, provides a single name for all genes of a given function and greatly facilitates comparative studies.

Bacterial Capsular Polysaccharide and Sugar Transferases
2004Capsular polysaccharides (CPs) of several pathogenic bacteria are thought to be good materials for the development of new therapeutic reagents. These polysaccharides can be used as vaccines against infection of pathogenic bacteria and are also useful as inhibitors for disease caused by aberrant and abnormal cell-cell interaction, such as cancer ...

Acetan — A New Bacterial Polysaccharide
1994The bacterial exopolysaccharide xanthan gum forms thixotropic aqueous dispersions. Xanthan will form thermoreversible gels when mixed with certain plant galactomannans or plant glucomannans. Such behavior is fairly well understood in terms of the chemical and stereochemical structure of xanthan. It would be useful to employ such information in order to

Polysaccharide Interactions in Bacterial Biofilms
1992Biofilms may be considered as a highly structured functional consortia of cells, attached to substrata within extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) containing matrices (Costerton et al, 1987). Their physiology, metabolism and organisation is greatly dependent upon the nature of those substrata and also upon the prevailing physicochemical environment.

Bacterial Surface Polysaccharides: Structure and Function
1988Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the chemical and physical information possessed on bacterial surface polysaccharides and determines the extent to which it matches and amplifies the cytological observations of these polymeric structures. The specific groups of extracellular polysaccharides are discussed.
