Cell wall structure and function in lactic acid bacteria
The cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria is a complex assemblage of glycopolymers and proteins. It consists of a thick peptidoglycan sacculus that surrounds the cytoplasmic membrane and that is decorated with teichoic acids, polysaccharides, and proteins. It plays a major role in bacterial physiology since it maintains cell shape and integrity during growth and division; in addition, it acts as ...
متن کاملCell wall composition of lactic acid bacteria.
After the discovery of methods for the isolation of bacterial cell walls (l), it was established that walls of gram-positive organisms contain relatively few amino acids. The most frequently occurring and abundant of these are alanine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, lysine, and diaminopimelic acid. Walls of grampositive organisms also contain large amounts of sugars and amino sugars and are rela...
متن کاملIn Vitro Binding Potentials of Bentonite, Yeast Cell Wall and Lactic Acid Bacteria for Aflatoxin B1 and Ochratoxin A
Background: This study intended to assess individual and combined adsorption potentials of three adsorbents (processed bentonite as an inorganic adsorbent, and cell walls of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and of the GG strain of Lactobacillus rhamnosus as organic adsorbents) for aflatoxin B1 and ochratoxin A under in vitro conditions. Methods: This study was conducted in Ferdowsi University of Mashh...

متن کاملThe cell wall of lactic acid bacteria: surface constituents and macromolecular conformations.
A variety of strains of the genus Lactobacillus was investigated with respect to the structure, softness, and interactions of their outer surface layers in order to construct structure-property relations of the Gram-positive bacterial cell wall. The role of the conformational properties of the constituents of the outer cell-wall layers and their spatial distribution on the cell wall is emphasiz...
