Question

In E. coli unknown strain (ETEC), fucose is associated with which type of carbohydrate groups?

only linear oligosaccharide groups

only branched oligosaccharide groups

only monosaccharide groups

mono- and oligosaccharide groups

In V. cholerae Unknown strain, fucose is associated with which type of carbohydrate groups?

mono- and oligosaccharide groups

only monosaccharide groups

only branched oligosaccharide groups

only linear oligosaccharide group

Answer 1

ETEC Fucose is associated with branched oligosaccharides groups,

therapeutical compositions

pathogen inhibiting oligosaccharides comprise a mixture of two different types of oligosaccarides selected from the group consisting of globo-oligosaccharides, neolacto-oligosaccarides, and sialyl- oligosaccharides, and sialyllactoses.

Q.2

It is associated with which only branched oligosaccharides groups.

Vibrio cholerae is the causative organism of the disease cholera. The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is an important structural and functional constituent of the vibrios and of any Gram-negative bacterium in general.
