A method is developed for the preparation of D-rhamnose from an O-polysaccharide (OPS) isolated by mild acid hydrolysis of Azospirillum brasilense SR75 cell mass. After the OPS hydrolysis, D-rhamnose was recovered by gel-permeation chromatography on Toyopearl TSK HW-40 and was crystallized. The sugar activity was demonstrated immunochemically. The advantages of the method are that it expedites and simplifies the extraction of D-rhamnose and increases its yield.

Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa pathogenicity island 1 (PAPI-1) is one of the largest genomic islands of this important opportunistic human pathogen. Previous studies have shown that PAPI-1 encodes several putative virulence factors, including a major regulator of biofilm formation and antibiotic-resistance traits. PAPI-1 is horizontally transferable into recipient strains lacking this island via conjugation mediated by the specialized type IV pilus.

Gram negative bacteria have lipopolysaccharides (LPS) that are critical for their survival. LPS molecules are composed of antigenic exopolysaccharide chains (O antigens). We are interested in discovering the enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of O antigens in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

In order to study the human intestinal transit of flavan-3-ol C-glycosides, several C-glycosyl derivatives were prepared by non-enzymatic reaction of (+)-catechin with α-D-glucose, α-D-galactose and α-D-rhamnose, respectively. In contrast to literature data, we propose that the reaction mechanism proceeds in analogy to the rearrangement of flavan-3-ols during epimerization under alkaline conditions. Four of the 12 synthesized flavan-3-ol C-glycosides were incubated under aerobic conditions at 37°C using saliva (2 min) and simulated gastric juice (3 h).

In many Gram-negative bacterial species, rough strains producing truncated lipopolysaccharide (LPS) generally exhibit defects in motility compared with smooth strains. However, the role that LPS plays in bacterial motility is not well understood. The goal of this study was to examine the relationship between LPS defects and motility of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
