Abstract excerpt
The biosynthetic machinery for cell wall polysaccharide (CWPS) formation in Lactococcus lactis and Lactococcus cremoris is encoded by the cwps locus. The CWPS of lactococci typically consists of a neutral rhamnan component, which is embedded in the peptidoglycan, and to which a surface-exposed side chain oligosaccharide or polysaccharide pellicle (PSP) component is attached. The rhamnan component has been shown...
