Trehalose is a disaccharide of two D-glucose molecules linked by a glycosidic linkage,
which plays both structural and functional roles in bacteria. Trehalose can be synthesized …

Trehalose, a natural disaccharide, consists of two glucose molecules linked by an a, a-1, 1-
glucoside bond. Apart from its function as a reserve carbohydrate, trehalose is known for its …

Trehalose is a nonreducing disaccharide in which the two glucose units are linked in an α, α-
1, 1-glycosidic linkage. This sugar is present in a wide variety of organisms, including …

The disaccharide trehalose is widely distributed in nature and can be found in many
organisms, including bacteria, fungi, plants, invertebrates and mammals. Due to its particular …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PA14 is a multi-host pathogen that infects plants,
nematodes, insects, and vertebrates. Many PA14 factors are required for virulence in more …

Mycobacteria contain high levels of the disaccharide trehalose in free form as well as within
various immunologically relevant glycolipids such as cord factor and sulfolipid-1. By …

The current knowledge of trehalose biosynthesis under stress conditions is incomplete and
needs further research. Since trehalose finds industrial and pharmaceutical applications …

An important prelude to bacterial infection is the ability of a pathogen to survive
independently of the host and to withstand environmental stress. The compatible solute …

Trehalose is present as a free disaccharide in the cytoplasm of mycobacteria and as a
component of cell-wall glycolipids implicated in tissue damage associated with …

Trehalose accumulation is a common cell defense strategy against a variety of stressful
conditions. In particular, our team detected high levels of trehalose in Propionibacterium …
