Xanthan cum biosynthesis pyruvic acid acetal residues are transferred from phosphoenolpyruvate to the pentasaccharide-P-P-lipid

Xanthan gum is a complex polysaccharide produced by Xanthomonas campestris, composed of pentasaccharide repeating units containing mannose, glucose and glucuronic acid (in the ratio 2:2:1) and pyruvic acid acetal and 0-acetyl residues in differing proportions Jansson et al. (1975) Carbohyd.Res. 45,...
