Cyclic beta-glucans are low-molecular-weight cell surface carbohydrates that are found
almost exclusively in bacteria of the Rhizobiaceae family. These glucans are major cellular …

Sugar chains are biopolymers that play various important roles for organisms, and their
structures are complex and diverse. Enzymes acting on sugar chains have undergone a …

This timely publication updates and standardizes currently used diagnostic procedures for

Molecular characterization of the avrBs2 locus from Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria
has revealed that expression of this gene triggers disease resistance in Bs2 pepper …

β-1, 2-Glucan is an extracellular cyclic or linear polysaccharide from Gram-negative
bacteria, with important roles in infection and symbiosis. Despite β-1, 2-glucan's importance …

Linear d‐glucans are natural polysaccharides of simple chemical structure. They are
comprised of d‐glucosyl units linked by a single type of glycosidic bond. Noncovalent …

The aqueous extract of the edible green microalgae Chlorella pyrenoidosa is of interest
because of its immunostimulatory activity. Some components in the extract have been …

We report the initial characterization of glucans present in the periplasmic space of
Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae (strain R32). These compounds were found to be …

Neutral and acidic cyclic (1→ 2)-β-d-glucans (cyclophorans), obtained from culture filtrates
and cells of Agrobacterium and Rhizobium, are synthesised on the cell surface and then …

Sinorhizobium fredii HH103 produces cyclic β glucans (CG) composed of 18 to 24 glucose
residues without or with 1-phosphoglycerol as the only substituent. The S. fredii HH103-Rifr …
