Any process by which a macromolecule is transported to, or maintained in, a specific location. Any process by which a polysaccharide is transported to, or maintained in, a specific location. The directed movement of polysaccharides into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. A polysaccharide is a polymer of more than about 10 monosaccharide residues joined by glycosidic linkages. The directed movement of beta-glucans into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Beta-glucans are compounds composed of glucose residues linked by beta-glucosidic bonds. The directed movement of substances (such as macromolecules, small molecules, ions) into, out of, within or between cells, or within a multicellular organism by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The directed movement of carbohydrate into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Carbohydrates are any of a group of organic compounds based of the general formula Cx(H2O)y. The directed movement of teichoic acid into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Teichoic acid is any polymer occurring in the cell wall, membrane or capsule of Gram-positive bacteria and containing chains of glycerol phosphate or ribitol phosphate residues. The directed movement of capsular polysaccharides into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Capsular polysaccharides make up the capsule, a protective structure surrounding some species of bacteria and fungi. The directed movement of dextrin, any one, or the mixture, of the intermediate polysaccharides formed during the hydrolysis of starch, which are dextrorotatory, soluble in water, and precipitable in alcohol, into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The directed movement of lipopolysaccharides into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. A lipopolysaccharide is any of a group of related, structurally complex components of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. Lipopolysaccharides consist three covalently linked regions, lipid A, core oligosaccharide, and an O side chain. Lipid A is responsible for the toxicity of the lipopolysaccharide.
