New Insights into the Biological Role of the Osmoregulated Periplasmic Glucans in Pathogenic and Symbiotic Bacteria

This review emphasizes the biological roles of the osmoregulated periplasmic glucans (OPGs). OPGs occur in almost all α, β and γ Proteobacteria. This polymer of glucose is required for full virulence. The roles of the OPGs are complex and vary depending on the species. Here, we outline the four majo...
