0 a complex type of carbohydrate, such as starch and cellulose, formed of large molecules
1 a type of carbohydrate (= substance that provides energy), whose molecules (= smallest units of a substance) are groups of sugar molecules joined together
Expression of functionally active forms of these enzymes will be very useful in further characterization of the polysaccharide metabolism of this parasite.
Many of these features are embedded in films that strongly resemble the water-rich extracellular polysaccharides produced by diverse microorganisms.
Changes occurred after cessation of cell wall growth indicating considerable metabolism of cell wall polysaccharides after cessation of growth.
Most meningococci that were isolated were of low pathogenic potential, with little expression of capsular polysaccharide.
This suggests that following prophylaxis, strains that do not express capsular polysaccharide may have the capability to recolonize their hosts more rapidly than capsulated strains.
Typically, 300 mg (dry weight) of each polysaccharide was used as a batch.
They are a rich source of non-starch polysaccharides and vitamins and minerals.
These produce at least 3 types of polysaccharide and protein complexes, assumed to be glycoproteins or possibly mucopolysaccharides, and several esterases.
