Figure 3.
Representation of synthase-mediated CPS production. Synthesis begins when a glucose monosaccharide is transferred to an integral phosphatidylglycerol. Addition of a glucuronic acid is catalyzed by the synthase. This method repeats until concentrations of either sugar runs too low for synthesis to continue. The phosphatidylglycerol then dissociates from the synthase and disperses within the external cell membrane.
