Abstract
The periplasmic space is a cellular compartment lying between the inner and the outer membranes of gram-negative bacteria. Located in this region are the peptidoglycan layer, the osmoregulated periplasmic glucans (OPGs), and a number of proteins implicated in the detection, the processing and the transport into the cell of nutrients, the detoxification of deleterious substances, and the biogenesis of the envelope. OPGs exhibit structural features that are characteristic of a bacterial genus. However, they share several major traits: glucose is the only monosaccharide; they are oligosaccharides made of a limited number of units (c.a. 10-20); they are accumulated in the periplasmic space in a higher amount in response to a lower osmolarity of the medium.
