Glycosyl hydrolase from Pseudomonas fluorescens inhibits the biofilm formation of Pseudomonads

Biofilm, 2023
Biofilms are complex microbial communities embedded in extracellular matrix. Pathogens within the biofilm become more resistant to the antibiotics than planktonic counterparts. Novel strategies are required to encounter biofilms.

Biochemical Properties and Anti-Biofilm Activity of Chitosan-Immobilized Papain [PDF]

Marine Drugs, 2021
Chitosan, the product of chitin deacetylation, is an excellent candidate for enzyme immobilization purposes. Here we demonstrate that papain, an endolytic cysteine protease (EC: 3.4.22.2) from Carica papaya latex immobilized on the matrixes of medium molecular (200 kDa) and high molecular (350 kDa) weight chitosans exhibits anti-biofilm activity and ...
