Shit P, Misra AK
Synthesis of a hexasaccharide repeating unit of the cell wall polysaccharide of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis LKM512
Carbohydrate Research 473 (2019) 12-17
 

A convergent synthesis of the hexasaccharide as its 2-aminoethyl glycoside corresponding to the repeating unit of the cell wall polysaccharide of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis LKM512 has been achieved applying a [4 + 2] glycosylation strategy. The disaccharide thioglycoside donor was prepared by combining a d-galactofuranosyl thioglycoside with another l-rhamnosyl thioglycoside acceptor. The yields of the individual glycosylation steps were highly satisfactory with excellent stereo outcome. An ?-glycosidic linkage of the d-galactofuranosyl moiety in the hexasaccharide was achieved in very good yield.

Bifidobacteria cell wall-derived exo-polysaccharides, lipoteichoic acids, peptidoglycans, polar lipids and proteins - their chemical structure and biological attributes
International Journal of Biological Macromolecules 147 (2020) 333-349
 

A variety of health benefits has been documented to be associated with the consumption of probiotic bacteria, namely bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. Thanks to the scientific advances in recent years we are beginning to understand the molecular mechanisms by which bacteria in general and probiotic bacteria in particular act as host physiology and immune system modulators. More recently, the focus has shifted from live bacteria towards bacteria-derived defined molecules, so called postbiotics. These molecules may represent safer alternative compared to the live bacteria while retaining the desired effects on the host. The excellent source of effector macromolecules is the bacterial envelope. It contains compounds that are pivotal in the adhesion phenomenon, provide direct bacteria-to-host signaling capacity and the associated physiological impact and immunomodulatory properties of bacteria. Here we comprehensively review the structure and biological role of Bifidobacterium surface and cell wall molecules: exopolysaccharides, cell wall polysaccharides, lipoteichoic acids, polar lipids, peptidoglycans and proteins. We discuss their involvement in direct signaling to the host cells and their described immunomodulatory effects.
