A Repeating Sulfated Galactan Motif Resuscitates Dormant Micrococcus luteus Bacteria. [PDF]
Appl Environ Microbiol, 2018 ABSTRACT Only a small fraction of bacteria can autonomously initiate growth on agar plates. Nongrowing bacteria typically enter a metabolically inactive dormant state and require specific chemical trigger factors or signals to exit this state and to resume growth.

Characterization and immunomodulatory activity of sulfated galactan from the red seaweed Gracilaria fisheri. [PDF]
Int J Biol Macromol, 2021 Polysaccharides from the red seaweed Gracilaria fisheri possess many functions, which include antioxidant, antiviral, and antibacterial activities. However, detailed data on their immunomodulatory activities are scarce. Here, we isolated sulfated galactans (SG) from G. fisheri. We found that the predominant SG from G.

Comparative Study of Sulfated Polysaccharides From Ulva Lactuca Grown in Tunisia and Morocco: in Vitro Antioxidant Activity and in Vivo Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Ulcer Effects. [PDF]
Chem BiodiversABSTRACT This study presents a comparative analysis of sulfated polysaccharides extracted from Ulva lactuca collected in Tunisia (PSUT) and Morocco (PSUM). FTIR confirmed the presence of sulfate groups, while GC‐MS identified diverse sugar components. Both polysaccharides showed strong antioxidant activity, with DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging rates ...

Repeated (Weekly) Intra-Articular Injections of Sulfated Galactans Attenuate Cartilage Degeneration in a Rat Model of Osteoarthritis. [PDF]
J Orthop ResKnee osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by progressive cartilage degeneration and remains a major cause of joint dysfunction with limited disease‐modifying therapies. This study evaluated the therapeutic potential of sulfated galactans (SG) extracted from Gracilaria fisheri in a rat OA model induced by anterior cruciate ligament transection and ...

Occurrence of sulfated galactans in marine angiosperms: evolutionary implications [PDF]
Glycobiology, 2004 We report for the first time that marine angiosperms (seagrasses) possess sulfated polysaccharides, which are absent in terrestrial and freshwater plants. The structure of the sulfated polysaccharide from the seagrass Ruppia maritima was determined. It is a sulfated D-galactan composed of the following regular tetrasaccharide repeating unit: [3-beta-D ...

Antiviral activity of marine sulfated glycans against pathogenic human coronaviruses
Scientific Reports, 2023 Great interest exists towards the discovery and development of broad-spectrum antivirals. This occurs due to the frequent emergence of new viruses which can also eventually lead to pandemics.
