Overview

This book presents an authoritative and lucid summary of the major areas of glycomicrobiology. A goal of the book is to provide readable reviews of current areas of glycomicrobiology. This molecular-oriented book considers the rapidly growing field of prokaryotic glycoproteins, and the genetics of the peptide-carbohydrate links. Expert commentary on prokaryotic recognition of glycoconjugate eukaryotic receptors and eukaryotic recognition of prokaryotic receptors is a highlight of the book. The structure and function of glycoconjugates of extremophiles is presented, along with the recognition and metabolism of carbohydrate substrata by microbial enzymes. Discussion of state-of-the-art methods in the detection of microbial carbohydrates is presented. This is the first volume devoted solely to glycomicrobiology, encompassing methods, biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, cell biology, and enzymology.

Disc. recent research re: carbohydrate-peptide linkages, ad- hesin receptors, microbial glycoconjugates; applied rsch.

Reviews major areas of the field of glycomicrobiology, encompassing methods, biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, cell biology, and enzymology. Provides discussion of carbohydrate-peptide linkages in bacteria, new information on adhesin-receptor complexes involving bacterial pathogens, and a modern outlook on the role of microbial glycoconjugates in the emerging field of biotechnology. The structure and function of glycoconjugates of extremophiles is presented, along with the recognition and metabolism of carbohydrate substrata by microbial enzymes. Other topics are prokaryotic recognition of glycoconjugate eukaryotic receptors, and eukaryotic recognition of prokaryotic receptors. Doyle is affiliated with the University of Louisville.
