Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Rhamnose is a constituent of lipo- and capsular polysaccharides, and cell surface glycoproteins. L-rhamnose is biosynthesized by the rml or udp pathway and D-rhamnose by the gdp pathway. Disruption of its biosynthesis affects survival, colonisation, etc. Rhamnosides are commercially important in pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries. HMM profiles were used to investigate the prevalence of the...
