Novel Mechanism for Bacterial Polysaccharide Export Discovered - Technology Networks

Scientists have identified a novel mechanism for polysaccharide export from Gram-negative bacteria, paving the way toward a complete understanding of the mechanisms that mediate the protection, motility and interaction of many bacterial pathogens.
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 Max Planck research tea… [+4682 chars] Read More
