Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is capable of producing various cell-surface polysaccharides including alginate, A-band and B-band lipopolysaccharides (LPS). The D-mannuronic acid residues of alginate and the D-rhamnose (D-Rha) residues of A-band polysaccharide are both derived from the common sugar nucle...
