Carbon Source-Dependent Changes of the Structure of <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> Capsular Polysaccharide with Serotype 6F

Carbon Source-Dependent Changes of the Structure of <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> Capsular Polysaccharide with Serotype 6F

The structure of the exopolysaccharide capsule of <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> is defined by the genetic arrangement of the capsule operon allowing the unequivocal identification of the pneumococcal serotype. Here, we investigated the environment-dependent composition of the polysacch...
