Abstract: Historically, protein glycosylation was believed to be restricted to eukaryotes, but now is abundantly represented in all three domains of life. The first bacterial N-linked glycosylation system was discovered in the Gram-negative pathogen, Campylobacter jejuni,… read more here.

Abstract: Each microbe has the ability to produce a wide variety of sugar structures that includes some combination of glycolipids, glycoproteins, exopolysaccharides and oligosaccharides. For example, bacteria may synthesize lipooligosaccharides or lipopolysaccharides, teichoic and lipoteichoic acids,… read more here.
