Abstract excerpt

Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax disease, elaborates a secondary cell wall polysaccharide (SCWP) that is essential for bacterial growth and cell division. B. anthracis SCWP is comprised of trisaccharide repeats with the structure, [→4)-β-ManNAc-(1→4)-β-GlcNAc(O3-α-Gal)-(1→6)-α-GlcNAc(O3-α-Gal, O4-β-Gal)-(1→]6-12 The genes whose products promote the galactosylation of B. anthracis SCWP are not...
