Abstract

Bacteria synthesize complex polysaccharide chains at a controlled number of repeating units; this has wide implications for a range of bacterial activities involved in virulence. Examples of complex polysaccharide chains include the Oag component of lipopolysaccharide and the ECA; both of these examples are predominantly synthesized by their own independent Wzy-dependent pathway.
