Performance of Bacterial Concrete with Agro-Waste Capsules

Applied Sciences
This study investigates the effects of agro-waste-based capsules made from grape seeds and cherry pits on the physical, mechanical, thermal and self-healing properties of concrete. Capsule-containing mixtures were compared with a reference concrete after

Nanoparticle-Stabilized Capsules for the Treatment of Bacterial Biofilms [PDF]

ACS Nano, 2015
Bacterial biofilms are widely associated with persistent infections. High resistance to conventional antibiotics and prevalent virulence makes eliminating these bacterial communities challenging therapeutic targets. We describe here the fabrication of a nanoparticle-stabilized capsule with a multicomponent core for the treatment of biofilms.

Bacterial Polysaccharide Capsules

, 2010
A common feature of many bacteria is the expression of a layer of extracellular polysaccharide usually organised into a discrete structure termed the capsule. The expression of a capsule results in the coating of the bacterium in a hydrated shell of high molecular weight polysaccharide molecules that mediate interactions between the bacterial cell and ...

Capsule Shields the Function of Short Bacterial Adhesins [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 2004
ABSTRACT Bacterial surface structures such as capsules and adhesins are generally regarded as important virulence factors. Here we demonstrate that capsules block the function of the self-recognizing protein antigen 43 through physical shielding.

Functional vulnerability of liver macrophages to capsules defines virulence of blood-borne bacteria [PDF]

, 2022
Many encapsulated bacteria use capsules to cause invasive diseases. However, it remains largely unknown how the capsules enhance bacterial virulence under in vivo infection conditions.

A frontier approach for the production of enteric soft capsules containing omega-3 fatty acids and probiotics

Czech Journal of Food Sciences
The study investigated whether omega-3 fatty acids could promote bacterial growth, acid and bile tolerance, and cell adhesion onto Caco-2 cells to develop a multifunctional enteric soft capsule containing probiotics and omega-3 fatty acids. The probiotic

The bacterial capsule is a gatekeeper for mobile DNA

PLOS Biology, 2021
The horizontal transfer of mobile DNA is one of the signature moves of bacterial evolution, but the specific rules that govern this transfer remain elusive. In this PLOS Biology issue, Haudiquet and colleagues revealed that the interactions between mobile genetic elements and the bacterial capsule shape the horizontal flow of DNA in an important ...

Bacterial capsules: no barrier against Bdellovibrio [PDF]

Microbiology, 1997
Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus 109J attached to both capsulated and noncapsulated Escherichia coli K29 cells. Electron microscopy revealed penetration of the thick polysaccharide capsule without any major disintegration of the neighbouring capsular matrix.
