Shewanella colweliana
[edit] Basic Structure
The EPS is composed of mannose, glucose, galactose, and pyruvate in a 1:2:2:4 molar ratio. Molecular weight analysis by gel filtration demonstrates that the EPS is polydispersive and composed of a major high-molecularweight species and lesser amounts of smaller molecularweight species

Mab Aco3
[edit] Antibody type and class
IgG2a
[edit] Assay System
ELISA, Immunofluorescence and immunoblotting
[edit] Cross-reactivity
This Mab cross-reacted with the closely related species S. benthica
[edit] Proposed epitopes
This EPS epitope was sensitive to cleavage of ester bonds, but neither pyruvate, acetate, nor terminal nonreducing sugars were required for antigenicity
[edit] Proposed Utility
This Mab can be used to quantitate the synthesis and probe the function of S. colwelliana EPS
