The Biosynthesis of Cell Wall Lipopolysaccharide in Escherichia coli
نویسندگان
چکیده
The cell wall lipopolysaccharide of Escherichia coli 011 l-B4 was degraded by (a) acid hydrolysis and (b) by treatment with periodate, followed by reduction with sodium borohydride and mild acid hydrolysis. The various oligosaccharides produced by these procedures were isolated and characterized by chemical and enzymatic methods. Procedure (I released all of the colitose (3,6-dideoxy-~-xylohexose) as the free sugar along with several oligosaccharides in very low yield, three of which were identified as Glc +

متن کاملHyperimmune lipopolysaccharide antiserum mediated inhibition of the adherence of E. coli O157:H7 to HEP-2 cells and large intestine of mice
Escherichia coli O157:H7 is found in cattle farms and can live in the intestine of healthy cattle. Mostcases of human illnesses including nonbloody diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndromecan be traced, either directly or indirectly, to cattle. One strategy for reducing the risk of EnterohemorrhagicEscherichia coli (EHEC) infections in human is to reduce the prevalence of inf...
متن کاملEffect of Concomitant Lycopene Biosynthesis on CoQ10 Accumulation in Transformed Escherichia coli Strains
CoQ10 and lycopene are isoprenoid compounds with nutraceutical and pharmaceutical benefits. In this study, the effect of concomitant lycopene biosynthesis on CoQ10 accumulation in transformed Escherichia coli DH5α was studied. A lycopene production pathway including geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase (crtE), phytoene synthase (crtB), and phytoene desaturase (crtI) from Erwinia herbicola was co...
متن کاملConvergent synthesis of the tetrasaccharide repeating unit of the cell wall lipopolysaccharide of Escherichia coli O40
A tetrasaccharide repeating unit corresponding to the cell-wall lipopolysaccharide of E. coli O40 was synthesized by using a convergent block glycosylation strategy. A disaccharide donor was coupled to a disaccharide acceptor by a stereoselective glycosylation. A 2-aminoethyl linker was chosen as the anomeric protecting group at the reducing end of the tetrasaccharide. All glycosylation steps a...
متن کاملNanotoxicity for E. Coli and Characterization of Silver Quantum Dots Produced by Biosynthesis with Eichhornia crassipes
Nanomaterials are widely used in health and biomedical applications, however, only a few studies investigate their toxic effects. The present report signifies a contribution to the study of the toxic effects of silver nanoparticles on E. coli cells, which is a model organism of anthropogenic pollution. The toxicity of nanoparticles depends on their chemical and surface properties, shape and ...
