The chemical structure of the K4-specific capsular polysaccharide (K4 antigen) of Escherichia coli O5:K4:H4 was elucidated by composition, carboxyl reduction periodate oxidation methylation nuclear-magnetic-resonance spectroscopy and enzymatic cleavage. The polysaccharide consists of a backbone with the structure----3)-beta-D-glucuronyl-(1,4)-beta-D-N-acetylgalactosaminyl(1- to which beta-fructofuranose is linked at C-3 of glucuronic acid. Mild acid hydrolysis liberated fructose and converted the K4 antigen into a polysaccharide which has the same structure as chondroitin. The defructosylated polysaccharide was a substrate for hyaluronidase and chondroitinase. The serological reactivity of the K4 polysaccharide was markedly reduced after defructosylation. 相似文献

The antigenic lipopolysaccharide O polysaccharides of capsular serotypes 9 and 11 were examined by chemical, immunological, and nuclear magnetic resonance methods. Immunodiffusion tests carried out on these O antigens indicated that both contained common epitopes which were also shared by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 1. Chemical analysis and high-field nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy showed that the O antigens of serotypes 9 and 11 were high-molecular-weight polymers consisting of a backbone of repeating trisaccharide units composed of alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl and alpha-D-glucopyranosyl residues (2:1). One of the alpha-L-rhamnose units forms a branch point and is stoichiometrically substituted with terminal 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucose residues in the serotype 11 O polysaccharide, but only to the extent of 25% in the serotype 9 O polysaccharide. Thus, the serotype 9 O polysaccharide contains two different repeating units: a tetrasaccharide unit with the same structure as that of the serotype 11 O polysaccharide and a trisaccharide unit: [formula: see text] where R = beta-D-GlcpNAc for serotype 1 and 11 O polysaccharides, and R = H (75%) and R = beta-D-GlcpNAc (25%) for serotype 9. The structure of the previously determined serotype 1 O polysaccharide (E. Altman, J.-R. Brisson, and M. B. Perry, Biochem. Cell. Biol. 64:17-25, 1986) is identical to that of the serotype 11 O polysaccharide. We propose a more complete serotyping scheme for A. pleuropneumoniae which includes designation of both the capsular (K) and O antigens. 相似文献

The ability of Methanosarcina thermophila strain TM-1 to store a reserve polysaccharide was studied using both biochemical methods and thin-section electron microscopy. When grown under conditions of excess carbon and energy (either methanol or acetate) and limiting nitrogen, M. thermophila accumulated a polysaccharide which could be hydrolyzed to glucose by the enzyme amyloglucosidase. This polysaccharide reached levels of 20 mg polysaccharide per g protein in nitrogen-limited cells, while cells limited for carbon, as well as cells in the exponential phase of growth, did not accumulate significant amounts of this polysaccharide. Thin-section electron micrographs of M. thermophila showed glycogen-like inclusion granules in nitrogen-limited cells but not in carbon-limited or exponential-phase cells. These granules were stained by a polysaccharide-specific staining procedure, the PATO stain. The polysaccharide was purified from cell extracts, the iodine-polysaccharide complex gave a maximum absorption at between 500 and 510 nm. The polysaccharide was mobilized within 21 h by cells starved for a carbon/energy source. N-Limited (polysaccharide-containing) acetategrown cells could shift to methanogenesis from methanol more quickly than did C-limited acetate-grown cells lacking polysaccharide, and ATP levels remained higher in N-limited cells. The results are consistant with the hypothesis that this polysaccharide can provide carbon and energy for metabolic shifts but other storage compounds, such as polyphosphate, may also play a similar role. 相似文献

Biotechnological applications of algal polysaccharide as emulsifiers, thickeners and laxatives have led to the screening and
selection of certain diazotrophic filamentous cyanobacteria from saline/alkaline soil of Madhya Pradesh, India. Strain specific
variation in cell bound, extracellular and total polysaccharide content was quantified under laboratory conditions. Among
the cyanobacterial isolates examined Nostoc calcicola RDU-3 was found to produce highest amount (105 mg l−1) of extracellular polysaccharide on 44th day of growth under diazotrophic growth conditions. Extracellular polysaccharide
production of cyanobacterium Nostoc calcicola RDU-3 was optimal at pH-10, temperature 35°C, photoperiod of 24 h and in white light. The Gas Chromatographic analysis of
polysaccharide from Nostoc calcicola RDU-3 revealed the presence of ribose (36.03%), xylose (34.13%), rhamnose (29.67%) and glucose (4.0%). The polysaccharide
is novel in that it possesses ribose as the predominant monosaccharide with very low levels of glucose. Predominance of ribose
monosaccharide is the unique feature which is reported to be used as metabolic supplement to the heart. IR spectrum of extracellular
polysaccharide revealed the presence of sulphate group. Such sulphated polysaccharide is reported to have antiviral properties. 相似文献

Rate, mechanism, and immunochemical studies of lactonisation in serogroup B and C polysaccharides of Neisseria meningitidis 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Meningococcal Serogroup B polysaccharide and colominic acid, which are (2----8)-alpha-linked homopolymers of sialic acid, undergo lactonisation at low pH at a rate which is dependent upon the molecular size and upon the salt form (Na+ or Ca2+). Meningococcal Serogroup C polysaccharide, a (2----9)-alpha-linked homopolymer of sialic acid with acetyl groups present at O-7 and/or O-8, reacts with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide to give an O-acylisourea. The rate of formation of O-acylisourea does not differ substantially between O-acetylated (O-Ac+) C, non-O-acetylated (O-Ac-) C, and B polysaccharide. 13C-N.m.r. spectroscopy shows that, in the absence of O-acetyl groups, the majority of the activated carboxyl groups of C polysaccharide condense with an adjacent HO-8 to form a delta-lactone. Immunochemical studies show that the antigenicity of B polysaccharide is markedly reduced on lactonisation of less than 20%, as measured by a radioimmunoassay using an anti-B monoclonal antibody, and that low-molecular-weight colominic acid is poorly antigenic both before and after lactonisation, suggesting the presence of conformational determinants on B polysaccharide. In contrast, lactonisation and/or formation of O-acylisourea groups in the (O-Ac+)-C polysaccharide does not cause a significant decrease in the antigenicity, which is consistent with a sequential (structural) determinant on the molecule. 相似文献

Phosphorylation of alginate was achieved using a heterogeneous urea/phosphate reaction. The degree and stereoselectivity of phosphorylation as well as the effects on the physical properties of the polysaccharide were investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopies, inductively coupled plasma optical-emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), and size exclusion chromatography (SEC). Multidimensional NMR studies of the phosporylated alginate revealed that phosphorylation of the M residues occurred predominantly at the C3 (equatorial) carbon of the polysaccharide ring. In addition, a more comprehensive assignment of the (1)H NMR spectrum of alginate, compared with those previously reported in the literature, is provided here. Hydrogel materials were formed from ionically cross-linked blends of phosphorylated alginate and alginate. These blended hydrogels showed an enhanced resistance to degradation by chelating agents compared with cross-linked alginate hydrogels and a reduction in their mineralization potential. 相似文献

A polysaccharide isolated from Cordyceps sinensis,a traditional Chinese medicine,protects PC12 cells against hydrogen peroxide-induced injury 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12

Cordyceps sinensis, a well-known traditional Chinese medicine, possesses activities in anti-tumour, anti-oxidation and stimulating the immune system; however, the identity of active component(s) is not determined. By using anti-oxidation activity-guided fractionation, a polysaccharide of molecular weight approximately 210 kDa was isolated from cultured Cordyceps mycelia by ion-exchange and sizing chromatography. The isolated polysaccharide, having strong anti-oxidation activity, contains glucose, mannose and galactose in a ratio of 1 : 0.6 : 0.75. The pre-treatment of isolated polysaccharide on the cultured rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells shows strong protective effect against hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2))-induced insult. Treatment of the cells with the isolated polysaccharide at 100 microg/ml prior to H(2)O(2) exposure significantly elevated the survival of PC12 cells in culture by over 60%. In parallel, the H(2)O(2)-induced production of malondialdehyde in cultured cells was markedly reduced by the polysaccharide treatment. Moreover, the pre-treatment of the isolated polysaccharide significantly attenuated the changes of glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase activities in H(2)O(2)-treated cells in a dose-dependent manner. This is the first report in identifying a polysaccharide from Cordyceps, which protects against the free radical-induced neuronal cell toxicity. 相似文献

Crude water-soluble polysaccharides (ASP) were separated from Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels by hot water extraction. They were fractionated into neutral and acidic polysaccharides by anion-exchange chromatography. The neutral polysaccharide (ASP1) was rich in glucose, galactose, and arabinose suggesting a mixture of glucan and arabinogalactan. The acidic polysaccharide (ASP2, ASP3) consisted mainly of galacturonic acid along with rhamnose, arabinose, and galactose indicating a pectic polysaccharide. The degree of esterification of ASP and ASP3 were 54.06% and 47.14% for the crude and purified sample, respectively. ASP3, with a molecular weight of 3.4 × 104 Da determined by high-performance size-exclusion chromatography (HPSEC), was the major constituent for the crude extracts. The radioprotective effect of the pectic polysaccharide ASP3 was studied in murine models. ASP3 pretreated mice exhibited a significant decrease of apoptosis (P < 0.05, dosage of 200 mg/kg d body weight) in peripheral lymphocytes compared to the irradiated control. The results showed that ASP3 can protect leucocytes and lymphocytes of mice against radiation induced damage, which has potential radioprotective effect on acute radiation injured mice. 相似文献

Mycelial growth and extracellular polysaccharide production of Phellinus linteus were optimal at pH 5 and 25 °C. Maximum biomass production (14.2 g l–1) was after 15 d of cultivation, whereas, extracellular polysaccharide was maximal (3.5 g l–1) after 21 d. The hypoglycemic effect of the polysaccharide, investigated in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, decreased plasma glucose, total cholesterol and triacylglycerol concentrations by 49%, 32%, and 28%, respectively, and aspartate aminotransferase activity by 20%. The results indicate the potential of this polysaccharide to prevent hyperglycemia in diabetic patients. 相似文献

An extracellular polysaccharide was isolated from culture broth of Escherichia coli 36M, and fractionated on a column of Sephadex G-150 into two fractions; the high molecular weight portion (85% of the total polysaccharide) contained pyruvic acid, and showed a positive immune reaction with anti-Ps-I-serum obtained from a rabbit. The low molecular weight portion (15% of the total polysaccharide) showed a negative immune reaction. The methylation, Smith's degradation, partial acid hydrolysis and methanolysis of the higher molecular weight polysaccharide revealed a repeating structure as follows: (see article). 相似文献

Capsular polysaccharide from two strains of Pasteurella haemolytica serotype T15 was purified and characterized by chemical analysis and NMR spectroscopy. The polymer, a teichoic acid, proved to be very similar in structure to the capsular polysaccharide of P. haemolytica serotype T4 and identical to the previously described K62 (K2ab) capsular polysaccharide of Escherichia coli, and the capsular polysaccharide of Neisseria meningitidis serotype H, i.e. ----(2-glycerol-3)----(phosphate)----(4-alpha-D-galactopyranose -1)---- with partial O-acetylation on the galactose residues. Electron microscopy with Protein A-gold labelled antisera showed that the polysaccharide was peripherally located on the surface of all three organisms. Chemical removal of O-acetyl groups from the polysaccharide yielded a structure identical to that previously described for E. coli K2 (K2a). Both O-acetylated and de-O-acetylated P. haemolytica T15 polymers, when absorbed on to sheep erythrocytes in passive haemagglutination assays, yielded identical antibody titres with sera raised against P. haemolytica T15, E. coli K2 or N. meningitidis H whole cells. De-O-acetylation of the Pasteurella polysaccharide influenced its precipitability with immune sera, but this could not be related to the absence of O-acetyl groups because the non-acetylated E. coli K2 polymer readily precipitated with a line of 'identity' with the acetylated P. haemolytica T15 polymer. 相似文献

The capsular polysaccharide of the bacterium Escherichia coli O9:K32(A):H19 was analyzed using chemical methods (hydrolysis, sequential Smith degradation, methylation analysis) together with 1H- and 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy. 13C-N.m.r. spectroscopy and chemical analyses indicated that the K32 polysaccharide is composed of equimolar proportions of glucose, galactose, rhamnose, and glucuronic acid, and carries O-acetyl groups. 1H-N.m.r. analysis of native K32 polysaccharide revealed five resonances in the anomeric region (delta 5.52, 5.16, 5.12, 5.02, and 4.73) and the presence of an acetyl group (delta 2.18). O-Deacetylation of the polysaccharide resulted in the loss of the resonance at delta 2.18 and one of the resonances (delta 5.52) in the anomeric region. The "extra" anomeric resonance in the 1H-n.m.r. spectrum of the native K32 polymer was assigned to H-2 of rhamnose, which experiences a large downfield shift when the 2-position is O-acetylated. This was confirmed by a 2D-COSY n.m.r. experiment and studies of model compounds. The K32 capsular polysaccharide is of the "2 + 2" type, comprised of the following repeating unit: (sequence; see text) This structure is identical to that of Klebsiella K55 capsular polysaccharide. 相似文献

A bacterium isolated as resistant to alkyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride (benzalkonium chloride, BC) and tentatively identified as Enterobacter cloacae, was induced by BC to produce acidic polysaccharide. The optimum concentration of BC for production of the polysaccharide was 0.1% and the polysaccharide produced amounted to 1.0-2.0 mg per ml of culture broth. The best carbon and nitrogen sources for the polysaccharide production were glycerol and polypeptone.The acidic polysaccharide was consisted of fucose, galactose, glucose, glucuronic acid, pyruvate, and acetate, like colanic acid. The production of the acidic polysaccharide was not induced by the addition of trimethylbenzylammonium chloride and tetramethylammonium chloride, but it was induced by p-fluorophenylalanine, and the results are discussed. 相似文献

Growth and extracellular polysaccharide production byPorphyridium cruentum were measured as a function of several culture parameters. Photon flux density of 75 μmol m−2 s−1 and CO2 concentration of 2.5% were found to be optimum for both growth and extracellular polysaccharide production. Interactive studies
on these two parameters further confirmed that at these levels of photon flux density and CO2, when applied together, both growth (5.9·107 cells per mL) and extracellular polysaccharide production (1.9 g/L) were at the maximum. Maximum growth and extracellular
polysaccharide production were observed at inoculum density of 106 cells per mL and aeration rate of 500 mL air per min per liter. 相似文献
