Polysaccharides Composition and Applications

TolC is required for a Mixed-Linkage β-Glucan (MLG) biosynthesis: Engineering bacteria for MLG overproduction

This paper shows that TolC is essential for MLG production in Sinorhizobium meliloti and demonstrates a genetic module to enhance MLG synthesis up to 10 g/L.

Bioprospecting c-di-GMP activated exopolysaccharides in bacteria

The paper screens 330 bacterial strains for c-di-GMP activated exopolysaccharides (EPS) using genetic modification and carbohydrate fingerprinting, identifying 10% as potential producers of novel EPS.

Acidification by nitrogen metabolism triggers extracellular biopolymer production in an oleaginous yeast

This study identifies conditions for extracellular biopolymer production in Rhodotorula toruloides, showing that nitrogen metabolism acidification drives exopolysaccharide synthesis.

Polysaccharides in cryopreservation: multidimensional systematic review of extremophilic traits and the role of selective pressure in structure-function relationships

This paper reviews extremophilic polysaccharides' structure-function relationships in cryopreservation, identifying key traits for cold adaptation and their potential in designing non-toxic cryoprotectants.

Isolation and characterization of cell wall and extracellular polysaccharides from cultures of the mycoparasitic strain Tirochoderma koningiopsis

This paper isolates and characterizes extracellular and cell wall polysaccharides from T. koningiopsis, showing antioxidant properties and inhibitory effects against Fusarium culmorum.

Rhamnose biosynthesis is not impaired by the deletion of putative rfbC genes, slr0985 and slr1933, in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

This study shows that deleting rfbC genes in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 does not impair rhamnose biosynthesis, but affects EPS production and export.

Engineering Bacterial Biomanufacturing: Characterization and Manipulation of Sphingomonas sp. LM7 Extracellular Polymers

This paper identifies and characterizes a novel bacterial polysaccharide, promonan, and presents methods to manipulate its properties and shorten purification time.
