Most of the carbon fixed by plants through photosynthesis is ultimately stored in the cell wall, primarily in the form of polysaccharides such as cellulose, xylan, and glucomannan. Yet how plants ...

In Gram-negative bacteria, which include some of the most devastating human pathogens, just two mechanisms for the export of polysaccharides have been identified so far. Now a research team has ...

Polysaccharides—long chains of simple sugars—play central roles in biological systems, including supporting cell structure, storing chemical energy, and regulating cell recognition. But synthesizing ...

The P. ostreatus has high nutritional and medicinal value and has been used in mycelium-based composites development and sustainable remediation of heavy metals. But the growth and development of P.

Hooking sugar molecules together to make strings called glycans—also known as oligosaccharides and polysaccharides—is one of synthetic chemistry’s most bedeviling challenges. Carbohydrates are ...

Conjugate vaccines are composed of bacterial polysaccharide antigens covalently linked to protein carriers, enabling T cell-dependent immune responses that induce high-affinity antibodies and ...
