The biochemistry and genetics of capsular polysaccharide production in bacteria.

Annual review of microbiology - 1 Jan 1996

Roberts I S

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial polysaccharides are usually associated with the outer surface of the bacterium. They can form an amorphous layer of extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) surrounding the cell that may be further organized into a distinct structure termed a capsule. Additional polysaccharide molecules such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or lipooligosaccharide (LOS) may also decorate the cell surface. Polysaccharide capsules...
