Production of capsular polysaccharide of Streptococcus pneumoniae type 14 and its purification by affinity chromatography.

abstract：:Many microorganisms produce surface-active substances that enhance the availability of water-insoluble substrates. Although many of these biosurfactants have interesting potential applications, very little is known about their biosynthesis. The basidiomycetous fungus Ustilago maydis secretes large amounts of mannosyle...
