Bacterial polysaccharides represent a diverse range of macromolecules that include peptidoglycan, lipopolysaccharides, capsules and exopolysaccharides; compounds whose functions range from structural cell-wall components (eg peptidoglycan), and important virulence factors (eg Poly-N-acetylglucosamine in S. Aureus), to permitting the bacterium to survive in harsh environments (eg Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the human lung). Polysaccharide biosynthesis is a tightly regulated, energy intensive process and understanding the subtle interplay between the regulation and energy conservation, polymer modification and synthesis, and the external ecological functions is a huge area of research. The potential benefits are enormous and should enable for example the development of novel antibacterial strategies (eg new antibiotics and vaccines) and the commercial exploitation to develop novel applications. In this timely book a cohort of experienced and authoritative experts review the most important innovations in research on and biotechnological applications of bacterial polysaccharides. The book takes an interdisciplinary view that examines this fascinating subject area in detail from molecular biology, genome-, transcriptome- and proteome-wide perspectives, and looks at the ecological aspects and systems biology approaches. Hence the book provides a sound basis for future research directions including high efficiency applications of bacterial polysaccharides in medicine, the food industry, and renewable energy production.

Topics include: peptidoglycan, lipopolysaccharide, arabinogalactan, capsule gene expression in Escherichia coli, immune response to polysaccharides, polysaccharides from periodontopathic bacteria, role in dental plaque, biofilms, levan, amylovoran and much more. Essential reading for everyone with an interest in bacterial polysaccharides, from the PhD student to the experienced scientist, as it provides a timely review of the current and most topical areas of research. Reviews 'relevant to applications in medicine, the food industry and renewable energy production' from SciTech Book News June 2009 p. 66 'an interdisciplinary view that examines the subject area in detail from molecular biology, genome-, transcriptome- and proteome-wide perspectives, on a very high scientific level. It is an essential reading for every one interested in bacterial polysaccharides, from the PhD student to the experimental scientist. The book is a landmark for future research directions and applications of bacterial polysaccharides in medicine, the food industry, and renewable energy production.'

(2009) 135: 183-184. 'The authors are all accomplished scientists.

One of the most interesting sections is on the application of exopolysaccharides, which are essential in food production and the production of biofilms. This comprehensive set of reviews shows the variety of ways in which bacteria use polysaccharides to survive and function in a variety of environments. Libc.so.6 Glibc_2.4 Version 4.0. ' From Doodys (2009) 'a collection of reviews written by experts. One of the most up-to-date and authoritative books available on topics about bacterial polysaccharides.

Virtual Tickling Games there. Overall the book provides a substantial wealth of coverage. With extensive references provided at the end of each chapter and the use of many experimental data to support scientific conclusions, I think that this book will prove to be a highly valuable resource for researchers and advanced students.' From ChemBioChem (2009) 10: 2539-2540. 'The editor is to be congratulated in gathering a team of international experts and in editing such a mass of information and perspectives. Although the range of polysaccharides covered is broad, the detail within individual chapters is intense, up-to-date and highly informative. Will also help to broaden the horizons of young PhD students.' From Microbiology Today (2009).

The peptidoglycan or murein sacculus is the stress-bearing structure of bacterial cells. It consists of glycan strands cross-linked by peptide bridges. Even though studies on murein have a very long tradition, it is not known how the glycan strands are actually arranged. However, the chemical fine structure and the muropeptide composition of different Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria have been investigated in detail. This chapter discusses Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus as representatives for both Gram forms. Microsoft Office 2007 Gratis Portugues Completo Com Serial Baixaki. During cell growth the stress-bearing structure has to be elongated and/or divided by the insertion of new and elimination of old material without loosing its strength.
