Currently, membrane materials play an important role in tissue repair, especially polysaccharide-based membranes, attracting much attention due to their excellent biological properties.

Prevenar 13 is a mixture of the outer sugar coating (polysaccharide) from 13 different strains or serotypes of bacteria called Streptococcus pneumoniae. Each serotype is joined to a non-toxic ...

Healthcare providers, public health officials and policymakers need to develop a greater understanding of the serious health impact of pneumococcal disease in elderly adults. In addition to ...

Xanthan gum is a polysaccharide, a type of sugar that is made from a bacteria called Xanthomonas campestris, through a process of fermentation. Xanthomonas campestris infects a wide range of ...

A recent article in ChemSusChem explored the binding of Lytic Polysaccharide Monooxygenases (LPMOs) to polyethylene terephthalate (PET), converting the hydrophobic surface of PET hydrophilic.

The obtained bio-plastics exhibited novel unexpected properties that cannot be found in common petroleum-plastics, derived from their unique chemical structure of the original polysaccharide backbone.
