Conformation of the extracellular polysaccharide of Xanthomonas campestris

Abstract: The solution conformation of the extracellular polysaccharide of the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris is examined by optical rotation, viscometry, and potentiometric titration. Measurements of optical rotation vs. temperature for solutions of the polysaccharide at low ionic strength reveal a sharp transition to a denatured structure which is reversible if sufficient salt is present. The temperature Tm at the transition midpoint increases as log (Na+) or log (Ca2+). Viscosity-temperature profiles substantiate a… Show more

“…Sabe-se que na presença de sais a temperatura de transição conformacional da xantana aumenta mantendo, dessa forma, a estrutura ordenada em temperaturas superiores e, com isso, mantém-se a viscosidade [18,19] . Entretanto, sais divalentes, como CaCl 2 e MgCl 2 , são mais efetivos no aumento da temperatura de transição que sais monovalentes, como NaCl [3,18] .…”

“…Entretanto, sais divalentes, como CaCl 2 e MgCl 2 , são mais efetivos no aumento da temperatura de transição que sais monovalentes, como NaCl [3,18] . Segundo Holzwarth [18] e Milas e Rinaudo [19] em baixa concentração salina a viscosidade da solução de xantana diminui, pois a temperatura de transição conformacional é alcançada.…”
