Isolation and characterization of a high-molecular-weight polysaccharide from the slime of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

abstract：:Several trivalent cations, including lanthanum (La3+), inhibited the secretion (enterosorption) induced by the enterotoxins of Vibrio cholerae and Escherichia coli in the rabbit ileum in vivo. High concentrations (greater than 10 mM) of La3+ were required to inhibit cholera enterotoxin (CE)-induced enterosorption, pro...
