Bacterial glycogen structure is greatly impacted by extraction methods which may result in molecular degradation and/or biased sampling. It is essential to develop methods to minimize these problems. Here, four extraction methods have been compared using size distribution and chain length distribution as key criteria for minimizing extraction artifacts.
