Abstract
Aeromonas sobria strain K928 was isolated from a common carp during a Motile Aeromonas Infection/Motile Aeromonas Septicaemia disease outbreak on a Polish fish farm and classified into the new provisional PGO1 serogroup. The lipopolysaccharide of A. sobria K928 was subjected to mild acid hydrolysis, and the O-specific polysaccharide, which was isolated by gel-permeation chromatography, was studied using sugar and methylation analyses and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The following structure of the branched O-specific polysaccharide repeating unit of A. sobria K928 was established. →2)[α-D-Fucp3NRHb-(1→3)]-α-L-Rhap-(1→3)-β-L-Rhap-(1→4)-α-L-Rhap-(1→3)-β-D-FucpNAc-(1→ The O-antigen gene cluster was identified and characterized in the genome of the A. sobria K928 strain after comparison with sequences in the available databases. The composition of the O-antigen genetic region was found to be consistent with the O-polysaccharide structure, and its organization was proposed.

Abstract
l-Rhamnose forms the key components of important antigenic oligo- and polysaccharides of a variety of pathogens. Obtaining 1,2-cis stereoselectivity in the glycosylation of l-rhamnoside is quite challenging due to the unavailability of neighboring group participation and disfavoring of the anomeric effect and stereoelectronic effect of the substituents on the C-2 axial position. Nevertheless, various methodologies have been developed exploiting diverse pathways for obtaining β-stereoselectivity in the glycosylation of l-rhamnose. This review describes the recent advances in β-l-rhamnosylation and its applications in the total synthesis of β-l-rhamnose-containing biologically important oligosaccharides.

Abstract
Rhamnolipids are a specific class of microbial surfactants, which hold great biotechnological and therapeutic potential. However, their exploitation at the industrial level is hampered because they are mainly produced by the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The non-human pathogenic bacterium Pantoea ananatis is an alternative producer of rhamnolipid-like metabolites containing glucose instead of rhamnose residues. Herein, we present the isolation, structural characterization, and total synthesis of ananatoside A, a 15-membered macrodilactone-containing glucolipid, and ananatoside B, its open-chain congener, from organic extracts of P. ananatis. Ananatoside A was synthesized through three alternative pathways involving either an intramolecular glycosylation, a chemical macrolactonization or a direct enzymatic transformation from ananatoside B. A series of diasteroisomerically pure (1→2), (1→3), and (1→4)-macrolactonized rhamnolipids were also synthesized through intramolecular glycosylation and their anomeric configurations as well as ring conformations were solved using molecular modeling in tandem with NMR studies. We show that ananatoside B is a more potent surfactant than its macrolide counterpart. We present evidence that macrolactonization of rhamnolipids enhances their cytotoxic and hemolytic potential, pointing towards a mechanism involving the formation of pores into the lipidic cell membrane. Lastly, we demonstrate that ananatoside A and ananatoside B as well as synthetic macrolactonized rhamnolipids can be perceived by the plant immune system, and that this sensing is more pronounced for a macrolide featuring a rhamnose moiety in its native 1 C 4 conformation. Altogether our results suggest that macrolactonization of glycolipids can dramatically interfere with their surfactant properties and biological activity.

Abstract
The O-serogrouping of pathogenic Escherichia coli is a standard method for subtyping strains for epidemiological studies and controls. O-serogroup diversification shows a strong association with the genetic diversity in some O-antigen biosynthesis gene clusters. Through genomic studies, in addition to the types of O-antigen biosynthesis gene clusters (Og-types) from conventional O-serogroup strains, a number of novel Og-types have been found in E. coli isolates. To assist outbreak investigations and surveillance of pathogenic E. coli at inspection institutes, in previous studies, we developed PCR methods that could determine almost all conventional O-serogroups and some novel Og-types. However, there are still many Og-types that may not be determined by simple genetic methods such as PCR. Thus, in the present study, we aimed to develop an additional Og-typing PCR system. Based on the novel Og-types, including OgN32, OgN33, and OgN34, presented in this study, we designed an additional 24 PCR primer pairs targeting 14 novel and 2 diversified E. coli Og-types and 8 Shigella-unique Og-types. Subsequently, we developed 5 new multiplex PCR sets consisting of 33 primers, including the aforementioned 24 primers and 9 primers reported in previous studies. The accuracy and specificity of the PCR system was validated using approximately 260 E. coli and Shigella O-serogroup and Og-type reference strains. The Og-typing PCR system reported here can determine a wide range of Og-types of E. coli and may help epidemiological studies, in addition to the surveillance of pathogenic E. coli.

Abstract
We report highly β-selective bis-thioureas-catalyzed 1,2-cis-O-pyranosylations employing easily accessible acetonide-protected donors. A wide variety of alcohol nucleophiles, including complex natural products, glycosides, and amino acids were β-mannosylated and β-rhamnosylated successfully using an operationally simple protocol under mild and neutral conditions. Less nucleophilic acceptors such as phenols were also glycosylated efficiently in excellent yields and with high β-selectivities.

Abstract
A new practical utility for β-stereoselective L-rhamnopyranosylations are conducted using rhamnosyl trichloroacetimidate donors in the presence of N-benzoylglycine/thiourea cooperative catalysis. This method represents the first instance where amino acid derivative N-benzoylglycine is used as a catalyst for β-L-rhamnopyranosylations. This method represents the first instance where environmentally benign amino acid derivative, such as N-benzoylglycine which is reported as less toxic and can be used as efficient catalyst for smooth transformation under eco friendly conditions. On the other hand β-stereoselectivity of rhamnosyl trichloroacetimidate donors protected with O-picoloyl groups at remote positions (C-2 and C-3) has been investigated while the glycosylation reactions of 2-O-picoloyl group substituted l-rhamnosyl donor displays predominant β-stereoselectivity. Reaction proceeded smoothly with moderate to high yield under mild reaction conditions at room temperature with 10 mol% catalyst loadings and tolerant of a wide range of glycoside acceptors.

Abstract
Bacteria of the genus Shigella, consisting of 4 species and >50 serotypes, cause shigellosis, a foodborne disease of significant morbidity, mortality, and economic loss worldwide. Classical Shigella identification based on selective media and serology is tedious, time-consuming, expensive, and not always accurate. A molecular diagnostic assay does not distinguish Shigella at the species level or from enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC). We inspected genomic sequences from 221 Shigella isolates and observed low concordance rates between conventional designation and molecular serotyping: 86.4% and 80.5% at the species and serotype levels, respectively. Serotype determinants for 6 additional serotypes were identified. Examination of differentiation gene markers commonly perceived as characteristic hallmarks in Shigella showed high variability among different serotypes. Using this information, we developed ShigaTyper, an automated workflow that utilizes limited computational resources to accurately and rapidly determine 59 Shigella serotypes using Illumina paired-end whole-genome sequencing (WGS) reads. Shigella serotype determinants and species-specific diagnostic markers were first identified through read alignment to an in-house curated reference sequence database. Relying on sequence hits that passed a threshold level of coverage and accuracy, serotype could be unambiguously predicted within 1 min for an average-size WGS sample of ∼500 MB. Validation with WGS data from 380 isolates showed an accuracy rate of 98.2%. This pipeline is the first step toward building a comprehensive WGS-based analysis pipeline of Shigella spp. in a field laboratory setting, where speed is essential and resources need to be more cost-effectively dedicated.IMPORTANCE Shigella causes diarrheal disease with serious public health implications. However, conventional Shigella identification methods are laborious and time-consuming and can be erroneous due to the high similarity between Shigella and enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC) and cross-reactivity between serotyping antisera. Further, serotype interpretation is complicated for inexperienced users. To develop an easier method with higher accuracy based on whole-genome sequencing (WGS) for Shigella serotyping, we systematically examined genomic information of Shigella isolates from 53 serotypes to define rules for differentiation and serotyping. We created ShigaTyper, an automated pipeline that accurately and rapidly excludes non-Shigella isolates and identifies 59 Shigella serotypes using Illumina paired-end WGS reads. A serotype can be unambiguously predicted at a data processing speed of 538 MB/min with 98.2% accuracy from a regular laptop. Once it is installed, training in bioinformatics analysis and Shigella genetics is not required. This pipeline is particularly useful to general microbiologists in field laboratories.

Abstract
Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) is the causative agent of black rot in crucifers. Here, one EZ-Tn5 transposon mutant of Xcc, altered in bacterial attachment, was isolated. Further analysis revealed that the transposon was inserted in the wxcX gene (encodes a hypothetical protein) of the transposon mutant. Sequence analysis revealed that WxcX is highly conserved in Xanthomonas, but none has been characterized. In this study, it was indicated that mutation of wxcX resulted in enhanced bacterial attachment, reduced virulence on the host cabbage, and increased sensitivity to sodium dodecyl sulfate. The affected phenotypes of the wxcX mutant could be complemented to wild-type levels by the intact wxcX gene. Site-directed mutagenesis revealed that E408 and E411 are critical amino acid residues for WxcX function in bacterial attachment. Taken together, our results demonstrate the roles of wxcX in attachment, virulence, and tolerance to sodium dodecyl sulfate in Xanthomonas for the first time.

Abstract
Micro-algae of the genus Ostreococcus and related species of the order Mamiellales are globally distributed in the photic zone of world's oceans where they contribute to fixation of atmospheric carbon and production of oxygen, besides providing a primary source of nutrition in the food web. Their tiny size, simple cells, ease of culture, compact genomes and susceptibility to the most abundant large DNA viruses in the sea render them attractive as models for integrative marine biology. In culture, spontaneous resistance to viruses occurs frequently. Here, we show that virus-producing resistant cell lines arise in many independent cell lines during lytic infections, but over two years, more and more of these lines stop producing viruses. We observed sweeping over-expression of all genes in more than half of chromosome 19 in resistant lines, and karyotypic analyses showed physical rearrangements of this chromosome. Chromosome 19 has an unusual genetic structure whose equivalent is found in all of the sequenced genomes in this ecologically important group of green algae. We propose that chromosome 19 of O. tauri is specialized in defence against viral attack, a constant threat for all planktonic life, and that the most likely cause of resistance is the over-expression of numerous predicted glycosyltransferase genes. O. tauri thus provides an amenable model for molecular analysis of genome evolution under environmental stress and for investigating glycan-mediated host-virus interactions, such as those seen in herpes, influenza, HIV, PBCV and mimivirus.

Abstract
The α/β-selectivity of super-armed rhamnosyl donors have been investigated in glycosylation reactions. The solvent was found to have a minor influence, whereas temperature was crucial for the diastereoselectivity. At very low temperature, a modest β-selectivity could be obtained, and increasing temperature gave excellent α-selectivity. The donors were highly reactive, and activation was observed at temperatures as low as -107 °C. Different promoter systems and leaving groups were investigated, and only activation with a heterogeneous catalyst increased the amount of the β-anomer significantly. By introducing an electron-withdrawing nonparticipating group, benzyl sulfonyl, on 2-O, an increase in β-product was observed.

Abstract
The acidic O-polysaccharide (O-antigen) of Escherichia coli O120 was isolated from the lipopolysaccharide and studied by sugar analysis and NMR spectroscopy. The following structure of the branched hexasaccharide repeating unit was established, which is unique among the known structures of bacterial polysaccharides: [formula see text] The O-antigen gene cluster of E. coli O120 was sequenced. The gene functions were tentatively assigned by comparison with sequences in the available databases and found to be in full agreement with the O-polysaccharide structure.

Abstract
Shigella and pathogenic Escherichia coli are major causes of human infectious diseases and are responsible for millions of cases of diarrhea worldwide every year. A convenient and rapid method to identify highly pathogenic serotypes of Shigella and E. coli is needed for large-scale epidemiologic study, timely clinical diagnosis, and reliable quarantine of the pathogens. In this study, a DNA microarray targeting O-serotype-specific genes was developed to detect 15 serotypes of Shigella and E. coli, including Shigella sonnei; Shigella flexneri type 2a; Shigella boydii types 7, 9, 13, 16, and 18; Shigella dysenteriae types 4, 8, and 10; and E. coli O55, O111, O114, O128, and O157. The microarray was tested against 186 representative strains of all Shigella and E. coli O serotypes, 38 clinical isolates, and 9 strains of other bacterial species that are commonly present in stool samples and was shown to be specific and reproducible. The detection sensitivity was 50 ng genomic DNA or 10(4) CFU per ml in mock stool specimens. This is the first report of a microarray for serotyping Shigella and pathogenic E. coli. The method has a number of advantages over traditional bacterial culture and antiserum agglutination methods and is promising for applications in basic microbiological research, clinical diagnosis, food safety, and epidemiological surveillance.
