Polysaccharides are large molecules composed of individual monosaccharide units. A common plant polysaccharide is starch, which is made up of many glucoses (in a polypeptide these are referred to as glucans).

Though polysaccharides are also biopolymers, it is not so common to talk of 'sequencing' a polysaccharide, for several reasons. Although many polysaccharides are linear, many have branches.

When do they form polysaccharides?
Quorum sensing may be involved in helping them turn on the synthesis of polysaccharides in proteins that glue the biofilm together. Then the bacteria grow just like they do in conventional cultures.

oligosaccharides. Polysaccharides are molecules with thousands of monosaccharideunits.
nucleosides - compound composed of a purine or pydimidine base linked to either a ribose or deoxyribose sugar. DNA and RNA are not polymers of nucleosides.

The cortical reaction is the release of their contents (proteases, mucopolysaccharides, and peroxidases) by fusion with the plasma membrane; the changes caused by the cortical reaction help to prevent polyspermy.
