N-acetylglucoseamine as a signalling molecule triggering hyaluronic acid increase in streptococcus zooepidemicus
Original language description
Hyaluronic acid is a linear polysaccharide composed of alternating D-glucuronic acid and N-acetylglucoseamine (GlcNAc) linked by beta(1, 4) and beta(1, 3) glycosidi bonds. Industrially, HA has been manufactured by fermentation of group C streptococci since the 1980s. HA is produced by processive synthase from the activated precursors UDP-glucuronic acid and UDP-N-Acetylglucoseamin. It was found that external supplementation by GlcNAc can increase HA production and its molecular weight. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether external GlcNAc acts as a direct substrate for hyaluronic acid biosynthesis or it works by different mechanism.
