Identification of Carbohydrate Metabolism Genes in the Metagenome of a Marine Biofilm Community Shown to Be Dominated by Gammaproteobacteria and Bacteroidetes [PDF]

, 2010
Polysaccharides are an important source of organic carbon in the marine environment and degradation of the insoluble and globally abundant cellulose is a major component of the marine carbon cycle.

Quantification of polysaccharides fixed to Gram stained slides using lactophenol cotton blue and digital image processing [version 5; referees: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations]

F1000Research, 2017
Dark blue rings and circles emerged when the non-specific polysaccharide stain lactophenol cotton blue was added to Gram stained slides. The dark blue staining is attributable to the presence of capsular polysaccharides and bacterial slime associated ...

Decolorization of synthetic melanoidins-containing wastewater by a bacterial consortium [PDF]

, 2008
The presence of melanoidins in molasses wastewater leads to water pollution both due to its dark brown color and its COD contents. In this study, a bacterial consortium isolated from waterfall sediment was tested for its decolorization.

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.

Nitrogen sorption as a tool for the characterisation of polysaccharide aerogels [PDF]

, 2011
Supercritically dried aerogels of several polysaccharides (chitin, chitosan, alginate, alginic acid, k- carrageenan, and agar) have been characterised by physisorption ofN2. Surface areas as high as 570m2 g−1 have been measured.

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

Masking the Pathogen: Evolutionary Strategies of Fungi and Their Bacterial Counterparts

Journal of Fungi, 2015
Pathogens reduce immune recognition of their cell surfaces using a variety of inert structural polysaccharides. For example, capsular polysaccharides play critical roles in microbial survival strategies.
