Identification of Novel Polysaccharide from Myxococcus xanthus and its Function in Developmental Sporulation

Exopolysaccharide Produced by Ligilactobacillus salivarius CRL 2217: Structure Insights and Functional Attributes

Exopolysaccharides (EPSs) produced by lactic acid bacteria have attracted increasing attention as multifunctional biopolymers owing to their structural diversity and technological and biological properties. However, despite the extensive use of Ligilactobacillus salivarius as a probiotic species, particularly in poultr...

Structural characterization and predicted biosynthetic pathway of the polysaccharide component of bioflocculant from starch-degrading Bacillus subtilis ZHX3.

Polysaccharides-based bioflocculant is a promising eco-friendly alternative to conventional flocculants, yet their application is limited by high production cost. Understanding the biosynthetic pathway is essential for targeted strain improvement. In this study, we characterized polysaccharides structure of biofloccula...

Identification of Putative Cellulose Synthase Gene xcsA2 Required for c-di-GMP-Induced Biofilm Formation and Cell Aggregation in Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942.

Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 is a widely used model cyanobacterium for diverse research fields and for bioproduction applications owing to its ease of cultivation, genetic modification, and ability to fix CO2. We found that a laboratory strain of S. elongatus PCC 7942 expressing the ydeH gene from E. coli exhibited...

Proteomics-Guided Discovery of Candidate Enzymes for Degradation of a Rare Pyruvylated Glycosaminogalactan by a Newly Isolated Luteolibacter Strain

Bacterial exopolysaccharides (EPS) display extensive structural diversity arising from variation in monosaccharide composition, glycosidic linkages, and non-carbohydrate modifications. However, the enzymes responsible for degrading many EPS structures remain unknown, reflecting the limited coverage of current carbohy...

Genome Analysis of Halomonas sp. 0522KB3.1, a Marine Bacterium Isolated from the Brown Alga Sargassum mcclurei, Reveals Potential for Fucoidan Modification

A mannose-rich exopolysaccharide from Weissella cibaria SK01: Purification, characterization, antibiofilm, anticancer, and physicochemical properties.

Findings identify EPS-SK01 as a microbial exopolysaccharide with a distinct structure and biological activity, underscoring its potential for use in the fermented food processing industry.
