• Bacterial polymers: biosynthesis, modifications and applications (2010, background): “Further categorization divides the polysaccharides into repeat unit polymers (for example, xanthan and the K30 antigen), repeating polymers (for example, cellulose) and non-repeating polymers (for example, alginate”
• Algal polysaccharides as source of plant resistance inducers (2014, background): “As an example of great structural diversity of polysaccharides is the fact that just the bacterium Escherichia coli (Migula) Castellani and Chalmers is able to produce a dozen of complex polysaccharides (Whitfield, 2006).”
• Klebsiella pneumoniae genotype K1: an emerging pathogen that causes septic ocular or central nervous system complications from pyogenic liver abscess. (2007, background): “The 3′ region is serotype-specific and encodes en- zymes for a Wzy-dependent biosynthesis system, including en- zymes for producing sugar nucleotide precursors, glycosyltrans- ferases, and 2 integral inner membrane proteins—Wzy and Wzx [46].”
• Complexity of cyanobacterial exopolysaccharides: composition, structures, inducing factors and putative genes involved in their biosynthesis and assembly. (2009, background): “However, the mechanisms involved in the synthesis of EPS seem to be relatively conserved for Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria (De Vuyst et al., 2001; Jolly & Stingele, 2001; Laws et al., 2001; Sutherland, 2001; Welman & Maddox, 2003; Whitfield, 2006).”
• Microbial Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPSs) in Ocean Systems (2017, background): “Capsules consist of polymers that closely surround individual or multiple cells and often serve a protective role (Whitfield, 2006).”
• Structure, Function, and Evolution of Bacterial ATP-Binding Cassette Systems (2008, background): “Capsular polysaccharide-specific ABC transporters are comprised of KpsM (IM protein) and KpsT (ABC protein) and require the following two additional proteins to function properly in gram-negative bacteria: KpsE, a cytoplasmic membrane protein of the MPA2 family that is presumed to play the same role”
