S-layer glycoproteins are cell surface glycoconjugates that have been identified in archaea
and in bacteria. Usually, S-layer glycoproteins assemble into regular, crystalline arrays …

Cell surface layers (S-layers) are common structures of the bacterial cell envelope with a
lattice-like appearance that are formed by a self-assembly process. Frequently, the …

Crystalline cell surface layers (S-layers) are ubiquitously present in bacterial species from
almost all phylogenetic branches. Recent investigations have shown that the S-layer …

Over the last two decades, a significant change of perception has taken place regarding
prokaryotic glycoproteins. For many years, protein glycosylation was assumed to be limited …

The Gram-positive bacterium Geobacillus stearothermophilus NRS 2004/3a possesses a
cell wall containing an oblique surface layer (S-layer) composed of glycoprotein subunits. O …

The∼ 16· 5 kb surface layer (S-layer) glycan biosynthesis (slg) gene cluster of the Gram-

With the advances of molecular biology and with improved analytical techniques a
significant change of perception has taken place regarding prokaryotic glycoproteins …

The amazing repertoire of glycoconjugates present on bacterial cell surfaces includes
lipopolysaccharides, capsular polysaccharides, lipooligosaccharides, exopolysaccharides …

Bacterial cell surface layers, referred to simply as S-layers, have been described for all
major phylogenetic groups of bacteria, which may indicate their pivotal role for a bacterium …
