Anabolism

Polysaccharides are synthesized from two forms of activated glucose molecules: UDP-glucose and ADP-glucose.

Many of the immune activating abilities of lipopolysaccharide can be attributed to the lipid A unit.

Attenuation is a regulatory feature found throughout Archaea and Bacteria domains which causes premature termination of transcription.

Polyhydroxyalkanoates or PHAs are linear polyesters produced in nature by bacterial fermentation of sugar or lipids.

Polyketides are secondary metabolites produced from bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals.
