Structure and properties of the exopolysaccharide produced by Streptococcus macedonicus Sc136 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Streptococcus macedonicus is a Gram positive lactic acid bacterium that is part of the starter flora present in Greek sheep and goat cheeses. The S. macedonicus Sc136 strain produces a high-molecular-mass, highly texturizing exopolysaccharide composed of D-glucose, D-galactose, and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine in the molar ratio of 3:2:1. The structure of the exopolysaccharide produced by S. macedonicus Sc136 was determined by chemical analysis, mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The repeating unit was shown to be: (see text) The polysaccharide sidechain beta-D-Galf-(1-->6)-beta-D-Glcp-(1-->6)-beta-D-GlcpNAc is a key factor in the highly texturizing properties of the S.macedonicus Sc136 exopolysaccharide. Finally, the trisaccharide sequence beta-D-GlcpNAc-(1-->3)-beta-D-Galp-(1-->4)-beta-D-Glcp corresponds to the internal backbone of the lacto-N-tetraose and lacto-N-neotetraose units, which serve as a structural basis for the large majority of human milk oligosaccharides, an additional property offering an important potential for the development of improved infant nutrition products. 相似文献

The primary structure of the exopolysaccharide produced by a clinical isolate of the bacterium Burkholderia cepacia was studied by means of methylation analysis, selective degradation, NMR spectroscopy, and electrospray mass spectrometry. The resulting data showed that the parent repeating unit of the exopolysaccharide is a highly branched heptasaccharide with the following structure: Two acetyl groups are present per repeating unit, as noncarbohydrate substituents. 相似文献

Several marine thermophilic strains were analyzed for exopolysaccharide production. The screening process revealed that a significant number of thermophilic microorganisms were able to produce biopolymers, and some of them also revealed interesting chemical compositions. We have identified four new polysaccharides from thermophilic marine bacteria, with complex primary structures and with different repetitive units: a galacto-mannane type from strain number 4004 and mannane type for the other strains. The thermophilic Bacillus thermantarcticus produces two exocellular polysaccharides (EPS 1, EPS 2) that give the colonies a typical mucous character. The exopolysaccharide fraction was produced with all substrates assayed, although a higher yield 400 mg liter(-1) was obtained with mannose as carbon and energy source. NMR spectra confirmed that EPS 1 was a heteropolysaccharide of which the repeating unit was constituted by four different alpha-D-mannoses and three different beta-D-glucoses. It seems to be close to some xantan polymers. EPS 2 was a mannan. Four different alpha-D-mannoses were found as the repeating unit. Production and chemical studies of biopolymers produced by halophilic archaea, Haloarcula species were also reported. 相似文献

The lactic acid bacterium Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus 291, when grown in skimmed milk, produced 80 mg/L exopolysaccharide with an average molecular mass of 1.4 x 10(3) kDa. Monosaccharide analysis, methylation analysis, MS, and 1D/2D NMR (1H and 13C) studies performed on the native polysaccharide, and on oligosaccharides obtained from a mild acid hydrolysate of the native polysaccharide, showed the polysaccharide to consist of branched pentasaccharide repeating units with the following structure: [structure: see text]. 相似文献

Hemicellulose is a complex group of heterogeneous polymers and represents one of the major sources of renewable organic matter.
Mannan is one of the major constituent groups of hemicellulose in the wall of higher plants. It comprises linear or branched
polymers derived from sugars such as d-mannose, d-galactose, and d-glucose. The principal component of softwood hemicellulose is glucomannan. Structural studies revealed that the galactosyl
side chain hydrogen interacts to the mannan backbone intramolecularly and provides structural stability. Differences in the
distribution of d-galactosyl units along the mannan structure are found in galactomannans from different sources. Acetyl groups were identified
and distributed irregularly in glucomannan. Some of the mannosyl units of galactoglucomannan are partially substituted by
O-acetyl groups. Some unusual structures are found in the mannan family from seaweed, showing a complex system of sulfated
structure. Endohydrolases and exohydrolases are involved in the breakdown of the mannan backbone to oligosaccharides or fermentable
sugars. The main-chain mannan-degrading enzymes include β-mannanase, β-glucosidase, and β-mannosidase. Additional enzymes
such as acetyl mannan esterase and α-galactosidase are required to remove side-chain substituents that are attached at various
points on mannan, creating more sites for subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis. Mannan-degrading enzymes have found applications
in the pharmaceutical, food, feed, and pulp and paper industries. This review reports the structure of mannans and some biochemical
properties and applications of mannan-degrading enzymes. 相似文献

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with rabbit polyclonal antibodies developed to isolated exopolysaccharide of Paenibacillus polymyxa 1465 was used to evaluate the colonization of wheat-seedling roots by this bacterium. The assay conditions were optimized
for detection of the P. polymyxa exopolysaccharide determinants forming part of the samples used (homogenates of inoculated roots). The dynamics of the immunoenzymatic
revealing of specific polysaccharidic antigenic determinants in the samples’ composition correlated with an increase in P. polymyxa numbers on the roots found by estimation of colony-forming units. 相似文献

An exopolysaccharide producing marine bacterium, Enterobacter cloacae, was isolated from marine sediment collected from Gujarat coast, India. Chemical investigation of exopolysaccharide (EPS 71 a) revealed that this exopolysaccharide was an acidic polysaccliaride containing high amount of uronic acid, fucose and sulfate which is rare for bacterial exopolysaccharides. EPS 71a was found to have fucose, galactose, glucose and glucuronic acid in a molar ratio of 2: 1: 1: 1. 相似文献

Copper-binding activity by exopolymers from adherent cells of a freshwater-sediment bacterium was demonstrated by a combination of equilibrium dialysis and flameless atomic absorption spectrometry. Crude, cell-free exopolymer preparations containing protein and polysaccharide components bound up to 37 nmol of Cu per mg (dry weight). A highly purified exopolysaccharide preparation bound up to 253 nmol of Cu per mg of carbohydrate. The conditional stability constant for the crude exopolymer-Cu complex was 7.3 X 10(8). This value was similar to those obtained for Cu complexes formed with humic acids and xanthan, an exopolysaccharide produced by Xanthomonas campestris. Studies conducted at copper concentrations, pHs, and temperatures found in sediments from which the bacterium was isolated indicated that the exopolymers were capable of binding copper under natural conditions. 相似文献

Structure of the D-mannan and D-arabino-D-galactan in Crithidia fasciculata: changes in proportion with age of culture 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Cells of the insect flagellate Crithidia fasciculata contained mannan and arabinogalactan components, whose porportion varied with culture age, the former predominating during early stages, and the latter during the later stages of exponential growth and the deceleration phase. The mannan was a beta-D-(1 leads to 2)-linked D-mannopyranan. The arabinogalactan had a complex structure containing, in part, a beta-D-(1 leads to 3)-linked galactopyranose main-chain substituted in the 2 positions by single-unit D-arabinopyranose side-chains and with some unsubstituted units. 相似文献

The distribution of membrane-bound enzymes involved in mannan biosynthesis in plasma and mesosomal membranes of Micrococcus lysodeikticus has been investigated. Isolated mesosomal vesicles, unlike plasma membrane preparations, cannot catalyze the transfer of [14C]mannose from GDP-[14C]mannose into mannan. This appears to result from the inability of this membrane system to synthesize the carrier lipid [14C]mannosyl-1-phosphorylundecaprenol. In contrast, this is the major mannolipid synthesized from GDP-[14C]mannose by isolated plasma membranes. The possibility that substrate inaccessibility could account for the failure to detect the enzyme in isolated mesosomal vesicles appears unlikely from the lack of activity following disruption of the vesicles with ultrasound or with surface active agents. Both membrane preparations possessed the ability to catalyse the transfer of [14C]mannose from purified [14C]mannosyl-1-phosphorylundecaprenol into mannan. Furthermore, free mannan and mannan located on both unlabeled mesosomal and unlabeled plasma membranes could act as acceptors of [14C]mannosyl units from 14C-labeled carrier lipid located in prelabeled plasma membranes. The possibility that the juxtaposition of mesosomal vesicles and enveloping plasma membrane (i.e. the mesosomal sacculus) in vivo allows mannan, located on mesosomal vesicles, to accept mannosyl units from carrier lipid located in the sacculus membrane is discussed. 相似文献

Fastidian gum: the Xylella fastidiosa exopolysaccharide possibly involved in bacterial pathogenicity
The Gram-negative bacterium Xylella fastidiosa was the first plant pathogen to be completely sequenced. This species causes several economically important plant diseases, including citrus variegated chlorosis (CVC). Analysis of the genomic sequence of X. fastidiosa revealed a 12 kb DNA fragment containing an operon closely related to the gum operon of Xanthomonas campestris. The presence of all genes involved in the synthesis of sugar precursors, existence of exopolysaccharide (EPS) production regulators in the genome, and the absence of three of the X. campestris gum genes suggested that X. fastidiosa is able to synthesize an EPS different from that of xanthan gum. This novel EPS probably consists of polymerized tetrasaccharide repeating units assembled by the sequential addition of glucose-1-phosphate, glucose, mannose and glucuronic acid on a polyprenol phosphate carrier. 相似文献

An exopolysaccharide-producing Gram negative bacterium was isolated and determined to be a Sphingomonas sp. (CS101). A sugar composition analysis of an exopolysaccharide indicated that the Sphingomonas sp. CS101 secreted an exopolysaccharide composed of glucose, mannose, fucose, and rhamnose in the ratio of 2.1:1.1:1.0:0.1, suggesting that this exoplysaccharide is an unusual type of sphingan family. The mean molecular weight of the exopolysaccharide was determined to be 4.2x10(5) Da by size exclusion chromatography coupled with multi-angle laser-light scattering (SEC/MALLS) analysis. An exopolysaccharide was produced up to 17 g/l (pH 7; 30 degrees C) with the optimal medium condition over 4 days of cultivation. 相似文献

A method is described for constructing a conformational model in water of a heteropolysaccharide built up from repeating units, and is applied to the exopolysaccharide produced by Lactobacillus helveticus 766. The molecular modeling method is based on energy minima, obtained from molecular mechanics calculations of each of the constituting disaccharide fragments of the repeating unit in vacuo, as starting points. Subsequently, adaptive umbrella sampling of the potential of mean force is applied to extract rotamer populations of glycosidic dihedral angles of oligosaccharide fragments in solution. From these analyses, the most probable conformations are constructed for the hexasaccharide-repeating unit of the polysaccharide. After exploring the conformational space of each of the individual structures by molecular dynamics simulations, the different repeating unit conformations are used as building blocks for the generation of oligo- and polysaccharide models, by using a polysaccharide building program. The created models of the exopolysaccharide produced by L. helveticus 766 exhibit a flexible twisted secondary structure and tend to adopt a random coil conformation as tertiary structure. 相似文献

Halomonas maura is a bacterium of great metabolic versatility. We summarise in this work some of the properties that make it a very interesting microorganism both from an ecological and biotechnological point of view. It plays an active role in the nitrogen cycle, is capable of anaerobic respiration in the presence of nitrate and has recently been identified as a diazotrophic bacterium. Of equal interest is mauran, the exopolysaccharide produced by H. maura, which contributes to the formation of biofilms and thus affords the bacterium advantages in the colonisation of its saline niches. Mauran is highly viscous, shows thixotropic and pseudoplastic behaviour, has the capacity to capture heavy metals and exerts a certain immunomodulator effect in medicine. All these attributes have prompted us to make further investigations into its molecular characteristics. To date we have described 15 open reading frames (ORF’s) related to exopolysaccharide production, nitrogen fixation and nitrate reductase activity among others. 相似文献

The mannan was a β-D-(1→2)-linked D-mannopyranan. The arabinogalactan had a complex structure containing, in part, a β-D-(1→-3)-linked galactopyranose main-chain substituted in the 2 positions by single-unit D-arabinopyranose side-chains and with some unsubstituted units. 相似文献
