In this review, we summarize the structure and properties of various exopolysaccharides produced by extremophiles, and also discuss potential metabolic and genetic engineering strategies for enhanced yield and modified structure of extremophilic exopolysaccharides. Special focus is given to the applications of extremophilic exopolysaccharides in the areas of biomedicine, food industry, and bio- materials via nano-techniques, casting and electrospinning. 1.

Naturforsch. 2012, 67b, 479 – 487 / DOI: 10.5560/ZNB.2012-0081 Received March 19, 2012 Three microbial polysaccharides, namely welan gum, scleroglucan, and EPS I, a novel polysac- charide obtained from a newly isolated bacillus species with structural similarities to xanthan gum, were employed in the fabrication of bio-nanocomposites based on layered double hydroxides (LDH). Synthesis was performed by direct co-precipitation of Zn(NO3)2 and Al(NO3)3 in the polysaccha- ride solutions at pH ∼ 8:5. The reaction products were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), elemental and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM). It was found that welan gum is successfully intercalated into the Zn–Al–LDH structure, giving a d-spacing of 2:38 nm for the in- terlayer distance, while neutral scleroglucan failed to be intercalated. Instead, this biopolymer was only surface-adsorbed on inorganic CaAl–OH–LDH platelets, as was evidenced by de-washing ex- periments. These results indicate that the anionic functionality of the polysaccharides presents a main driving force behind their intercalation. In contrast to regular xanthan gum, EPS I was intercalated into the LDH structure to give a sharp X-ray reflection representing a d-spacing of 2:77 nm.

  • Food Carbohydrates: Monosaccharides and Oligosaccharides
    Paper No. 01 Paper Title: Food Chemistry Module-04: Food carbohydrates: Monosaccharides and Oligosaccharides Monosaccharides The simplest form of carbohydrates is the monosaccharide. Monosaccharides are either aldoses or ketoses. Aldoses such as glucose consists of a carbon backbone and a carbonyl group (C=O) located at the end of the chain. Ketoses such as fructose consists of a carbon backbone with a carbonyl group located at any other carbon in the chain. The remaining carbon atoms are bound to hydroxyl groups (-OH). Monosaccharide classifications based on the number of carbons Number Category of Examples Name Carbons 4 Tetrose Erythrose, Threose 5 Pentose Arabinose, Ribose, Ribulose, Xylose, Xylulose, Lyxose Allose, Altrose, Fructose, Galactose, Glucose, Gulose, Idose, 6 Hexose Mannose, Sorbose, Talose, Tagatose 7 Heptose Sedoheptulose, Mannoheptulose Monosaccharides Three common sugars glucose, galactose and fructose share the same molecular formula: C6H12O6. Because of their six carbon atoms, each is a hexose. Although all three share the same molecular formula, the arrangement of atoms differs in each case. Substances such as these three, which have identical molecular formulas but different structural formulas, are known as structural isomers. Glucose "Blood sugar" is the immediate source of energy for cellular respiration. Glucose, which is also referred to as dextrose, is a moderately sweet sugar found in vegetables and fruit. When glucose is fermented by the enzyme zymase, in yeast, it results in the formation of carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol. It is the basic structure to which all carbohydrates are reduced to in the end, for transport via the bloodstream and use by the cells of the body.

  • Towards a Better Production of Bacterial Exopolysaccharides 2018
    Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology (2018) 102:1587–1598 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00253-018-8745-7 MINI-REVIEW Towards a better production of bacterial exopolysaccharides by controlling genetic as well as physico-chemical parameters Dipanjan Sengupta1 & Sriparna Datta1 & Dipa Biswas1 Received: 9 September 2017 /Revised: 22 December 2017 /Accepted: 27 December 2017/Published online: 17 January 2018 # Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract Bacterial extracellular polymeric substances, which are basically bacterial metabolites, have currently become a subject of great concern of modern day microbiologists and biotechnologists. Among these metabolites, bacterial exopolysaccharides or EPS, in particular, have gained a significant importance. EPS are formed by the bacteria in their late exponential or stationary phase of growth under special situations for specific purposes. They take part in the formation of bacterial biofilms. There is a great diversity in the types of EPS. Strikingly enough, a same species of bacterium can produce different types of EPS under different situations. The importance of EPS is largely because of their different applications in various industries. Now that the bacterial EPS has got the potentiality to become an upcoming tool in various futuristic applications of human benefit, the focus currently develops towards how better they can be produced in the laboratory by promoting the favorable factors for their production. While studying with different EPS forming bacteria, both the intrinsic factors like genetic configuration of the bacteria and the extrinsic factors like culture conditions under the influence of different physico-chemical parameters in order to maximize the EPS production have been taken into consideration.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract The structure-function relationship of a gellan family of polysaccharides, S-198 gum produced by Alcaligenes ATCC31853 was investigated in terms of rheological aspects. The flow curves of S-198 gum showed plastic behavior above 0.3%. Gelation did not occur in S-198 gum solution at low temperature (0˚C), even at 0.8%. Both the viscosity and the elastic modulus remained constant with increasing temperature up to 80˚C. The elastic modulus decreased a little with the addition of CaCl2 (6.8 mM), but then once again remained constant up to 80˚C. The highest elastic mod- ulus was observed for deacylated gellan gum with the addition of CaCl2 and increased slightly with increasing temperature up to 80˚C, which was considered to be a transition temperature, after which it decreased rapidly.

    Puckering Free Energy of Pyranoses: an NMR and Metadynamics–Umbrella Sampling Investigation E. Autieri, M. Sega,∗ and F. Pederiva Department of Physics and I.N.F.N., University of Trento, via Sommarive 14, 38123 Trento, Italy G. Guella Department of Physics, University of Trento, via Sommarive 14, 38123 Trento, Italy Abstract We present the results of a combined metadynamics–umbrella sampling investigation of the puckered conformers of pyranoses described using the gromos 45a4 force field. The free energy landscape of Cremer–Pople puckering coordinates has been calculated for the whole series of α and β aldohexoses, showing that the current force field parameters fail in reproducing proper puckering free energy differences between chair conformers. We suggest a modification to the gromos 45a4 parameter set which improves considerably the agreement of simulation results with theoretical and experimental estimates of puckering free energies. We also report on the experimental measurement of altrose conformers populations by means of NMR spectroscopy, which show good agreement with the predictions of current theoretical models. arXiv:1006.2515v1 [physics.chem-ph] 13 Jun 2010 1 I. INTRODUCTION Within the framework of classical force fields, the number of computer experiments on sac- charides has grown considerably in recent years, and various systems have been addressed1–27. Devising a realistic model of monosaccharides is obviously a decisive step in order for carbo- hydrates simulations to have enough predictive power. The accurate description of monosac- charides with classical force fields is not an easy task, because of the delicate interplay of different factors such as the presence of a high number of intramolecular hydrogen bonds, the competition of these hydrogen bonds with water-sugar ones and important steric and electrostatic effects between ring substituents in spatial proximity (see for example Ref.

  • ENZYMATIC HYDROLYSIS of DISACCHARIDES and HALOGENOSALICINS by William Ward Pigman
    U. S. DEPARTMENT OF CoMMERCE NATIONAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS RESEARCH PAPER RP1398 Part of Journal of Research of the :National Bureau of Standards, Volume 27, July 1941 ENZYMATIC HYDROLYSIS OF DISACCHARIDES AND HALOGENOSALICINS By William Ward Pigman ABSTRACT In agreement with the Weidenhagen theory, the enzymes of almond emulsin hydrolyze all of the disaccharides with p-glucosidic linkages which have thus far been tried. Measurements of rate of hydrolysis are reported for the first time for gentiobiose, 4-glucosidomannose, and lactositol, and comparable data are as­ sembled for other disaccharides. It is shown that very small changes in the configuration or structure of the aglucon sugar have a large influence on the rate of enzymatic hydrolysis. This influence is explained on the basis that two areas of the enzyme are involved i,I the adsorption of the disaccharides by the enzyme and that the component nonosaccharide residues are adsorbed separately on the two areas of the enzyme. Rates of enzymatic hydrolysis under the standard conditions of Helferich are reported for the p-chloro-, bromo-, and iodosalicins. It is shown that the intro­ duction of a halogen in the para position of the salicin aglucon reduces the rate of hydrolysis to less than one-third of the salicin value. While the three halogeno­ salicins do not differ greatly in their rate of hydrolysis, their relative ease of enzy­ matic splitting is iodo-> bromo->chloro-. CONTENTS Page I.
