Deinococcus radiodurans shows extreme resistance to a range of remarkable environmental stresses. Deinococcal exopolysaccharide (DeinoPol) is a component of the cell wall, but its role in stress resistance has not yet been well-described. In this study, we isolated and characterized DeinoPol from Deinococcus radiodurans R1 strain and investigated its application as an antioxidant agent. Bioinformatic analysis indicated that dra0033, encoding an ExoP-like protein, was involved in DeinoPol biosynt ...[more]
