It primarily serves as a structural component in the tissues and organs of plants and animals, or forms biofilms in which bacterial cells are embedded. ECMs are highly dynamic structures that undergo continuous remodeling, and disruptions are frequently the result of pathological processes associated with severe diseases such as arteriosclerosis, neurodegenerative illness or cancer. In turn, bacterial biofilms are a source of concern for human health, as they are associated with resistance to antibiotics. Although exopolysaccharides are crucial for ECM formation and function, they have received considerably little attention to date..The respective chapters of this book comprehensively address such issues, and provide reviews on the structural, biochemical, molecular and biophysical properties of exopolysaccharides. These components are abundantly produced by virtually all taxa including bacteria, algae, plants, fungi, invertebrates and vertebrates. They include long unbranched homopolymers (cellulose, chitin/chitosan), linear copolymer | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | 关键词 | Extracellular matrices; Extracellular polysaccharides; Bacterial biofilms; Industrial and biomedical ap | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-12919-4 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-12921-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-12919-4Series ISSN 2211-0593 Series E-ISSN 2211-0607 | issn_series | 2211-0593 | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019 |
