Bacterial biosynthesis of alginates
Abstract
Alginates are polysaccharides with many industrial and medical uses, from food additives to encapsulation agents in the emerging transplantation technologies. Alginate is composed of variable proportions of β‐D‐mannuronic acid and α‐L‐guluronic acid linked by 1–4 glycosidic bonds. Traditionally, commercial alginate has been produced by farmed brown seaweeds, but this alginate suffers from heterogeneity in composition and quality partly due to environmental variation. Two bacterial genera, Pseudomonas and Azotobacter, are also capable of producing alginate as an exopolysaccharide. These bacterial alginate producers can provide the means to produce alginates with defined monomer composition and possibly through genetic and protein engineering may allow for the production of ‘tailor made’ bacterial alginates. The paper discusses the mechanisms behind alginate production in bacteria and how they may be used in the commercial production of alginates. Copyright © 2010 Society of Chemical Industry

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
