Microbial cell wall polysaccharides -peptidoglycans

Microbial Cell Wall Polysaccharides Peptidoglycan (Figure 9.26)... 

This review will address the structure and biosynthesis of important microbial cell wall polysaccharides, as well as chemical syntheses of these stmctures, and their roles in human diseases and disease treatments. The document is divided into sections discussing bacterial peptidoglycan, the Gram-negative outer membrane, corynebacterial cell wall components, and capsular antigens. 

Many different types of carbohydrate-containing molecules are located on the surface of microbial cells. Some of these are components of die microbial cell wall and are limited to certain types of micro-organisms such as bacterial peptidoglycan, lipopolysaccharides, techoic adds and yeast mannans. Other polysaccharides are not...
