Abstract excerpt
Large amounts of osmoregulated periplasmic glucans (OPGs) are found in the periplasmic space of Proteobacteria. Four families of OPGs are described on the basis of structural features of the polyglucose backbone. Depending on the species considered, OPGs can be modified to various extent by a variety of substituents. Genes governing the backbone synthesis are identified in a limited number of species. They belong...
