Diversity and function of phage encoded depolymerases [PDF]
, 2020 Bacteriophages of the Podoviridae family often exhibit so-called depolymerases as structural components of the virion. These enzymes appear as tail spike proteins (TSPs).

Bacterial glycobiology: rhamnose-containing cell wall polysaccharides in Gram-positive bacteria
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2016 The composition of the Gram-positive cell wall is typically described as containing peptidoglycan, proteins and essential secondary cell wall structures called teichoic acids, which comprise approximately half of the cell wall mass.

Complementary Role of CD4+ T Cells in Response to Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccines in Humans
Vaccines, 2019 Bacterial pathogens expressing capsular polysaccharides are common causes of mucosal infections (pneumonia, intestinal), as well as often fatal, invasive infections (meningitis, bloodstream infections) in children and adults worldwide.

Bacterial conjugation as a method for identifying the locations of genes involved in polysaccharide polymerization in Bacillus subtilis bacteria [PDF]
مجلة التربية والعلم, 2012 The present study includes utilization of the bacterial conjugation between the local isolate Bacillus subtilis and the laboratory strain Escherichia coli K-12 JM83 in order to determine the location of genes involved in production of polysaccharides in ...

A Novel, Time-effective Approach for Capturing Bacteria from Contaminated Urine Samples [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 A fundamental step in the race to design a rapid diagnostic test for antimicrobial resistance is the separation of bacteria from their matrix. Many recent studies have been focused on the development of systems capable of separating and capturing bacteria from different liquid environments. Herein, we introduce a new approach to this issue by using the

Surface Polysaccharide Extraction and Quantification
Bio-Protocol, 2013 Gram-negative bacterial cells possess two membranes - the inner cytoplasmic membrane and the outer membrane. The two membranes are distinct in their composition; the inner membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer, whereas the outer membrane (OM) is
