Microbial exopolysaccharide production by polyextremophiles in the adaptation to multiple extremes
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Polyextremophiles are microorganisms that endure multiple extreme conditions by various adaptation strategies that also include the production of exopolysaccharides (EPSs). This review provides an integrated perspective on EPS biosynthesis, function, and regulation in these organisms, emphasizing their critical role in survival and highlighting their ...

Biofilm and phytopharmaceuticals [PDF]
Urologie pro praxi, 2020 Akutni infekce mocových cest je v dospěle populaci velmi castým onemocněnim. Plati zde, že mnohem větsi zdravotni potiže než infekce akutni přinaseji chronicke a recidivujici bakterialni infekce. Tvorba biofilmu je významným faktorem, který umožňuje delsi přeživani bakterii a take významně ztěžuje lecbu bakterialnich infekci.

Protein O‐glycosylation in the Bacteroidota phylum
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Species of the Bacteroidota phylum exhibit a unique O‐glycosylation system. It modifies noncytoplasmic proteins on a specific amino acid motif with a shared glycan core but a species‐specific outer glycan. A locus of multiple glycosyltransferases responsible for the synthesis of the outer glycan has been identified.

Biofilm released cells can easily be obtained in a fed-batch system using ica+ but not with ica- isolates [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Staphylococcus epidermidis is one of the major opportunistic bacterial pathogens in healthcare facilities, mainly due to its strong ability to form biofilms in the surface of indwelling medical devices.

Effect of CSLM imaging rate on biofilms of P. aeruginosa and S. aureus [PDF]
, 2015 Biofilms are sessile communities of bacteria that can be found in an wide range of environments. Their inhabitants are phenotypically distinct from plank- tonic bacteria and are capable of forming complex, three-dimensional structures.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Sphingoid base structures, the sphingolipid backbones, vary among species. We established yeast cells in which the native sphingoid base was replaced with plant‐type bases containing cis or trans double bonds. This is, to our knowledge, the first eukaryotic model mostly composed of sphingolipids containing cis‐unsaturated sphingoid base, providing a ...

Acid tolerance in early colonizers of oral biofilms
BMC Microbiology, 2021 Background In caries, low pH drives selection and enrichment of acidogenic and aciduric bacteria in oral biofilms, and development of acid tolerance in early colonizers is thought to play a key role in this shift.

Chronic Wounds: The Persistent Infection Problem [PDF]
, 2013 Chronic wounds heal poorly and can have a huge impact on a sufferer’s life. They are caused by a number of factors, one of which is the presence of persistent infections.
Davis, NG
core
Trends in Microbiology, 2013 Bacteria can grow and proliferate either as single, independent cells or organized in aggregates commonly referred to as biofilms. When bacteria succeed in forming a biofilm within the human host, the infection often becomes very resistant to treatment and can develop into a chronic state.

Biofilms and their properties [PDF]
European Journal of Oral Sciences, 2018 Bacteria within the oral cavity live primarily as complex, polymicrobial biofilms. Dental biofilms are necessary etiological factors for dental caries and periodontal diseases but have also been implicated in diseases outside the oral cavity. Biofilm is the preferred lifestyle for bacteria, and biofilms are found on almost any surface in nature ...
