In vitro and in vivo antimicrobial activity of water-soluble chitosan oligosaccharides against Vibrio vulnificus.

30 Aug 2009 Vibrio vulnificus is a Gram-negative bacterium that induces severely rapid pathological progress. In this study, we evaluated the antibacterial activity of two water-soluble chitosan oligosaccharides, COS A (MW, 10,000 Da) and COS B (MW, 1,000 Da), ... Read more...

Evaluation of angiogenic activities of hyaluronan oligosaccharides of defined minimum size.

27 Aug 2009 AIMS: Oligosaccharides of hyaluronan (o-HAs) were proved to have pro-angiogenic activities. The aim of this study was to obtain four hyaluronan oligosaccharides (o-HAs) of defined molecular weight including 4 saccharide residues (o-HA4), 6 ... Read more...

Production of beta-maltooligosaccharides of alpha- and delta-tocopherols by Klebsiella pneumoniae and cyclodextrin glucanotransferase as anti-allergic agents.

18 Aug 2009 The glycosylation of alpha- and delta-tocopherols using Klebsiella pneumoniae and cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) was investigated. K. pneumoniae converted alpha- and delta-tocopherols into the corresponding beta-glucosides in 10 and 8% ... Read more...
