Abstract
A method of synthesizing saccharide compositions is described. In this method, an acceptor moiety is contacted with at least one donor saccharide in the presence of at least one cell surface-bound glycosyltransferase specific for catalyzing the coupling of the acceptor moiety with the donor saccharide. The acceptor moiety used is a carbohydrate, a protein, a glycolipid, a lipid, or a glycolipid.
