The Pseudomonas aeruginosa lectin LecB binds to the exopolysaccharide Psl and stabilizes the biofilm matrix

Nature Communications, 2019
Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms are composed of exopolysaccharides, exogenous DNA, and proteins. Here, da Silva et al show that protein LecB binds to matrix exopolysaccharide Psl, thus contributing to increased retention of bacterial cells and ...

Shifts in reclamation management strategies shape the role of exopolysaccharide and lipopolysaccharide‐producing bacteria during soil formation

Microbial Biotechnology, 2020
Summary Polymeric substances produced by microbes play a key role for the development of soil aggregates. Here, we investigated the dynamics of bacterial families contributing to the formation of exopolysaccharides and lipopolysaccharides, major ...

Staphylococcus aureus Extracellular Vesicles Enhance PslE-Mediated Pathogenesis in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. [PDF]

Microbiologyopen
PslE is essential for the ability of S. aureus‐derived extracellular vesicles to enhance P. aeruginosa pathogenicity. ABSTRACT Coinfection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is frequently observed. Our previous study demonstrated that S. aureus‐derived extracellular vesicles (SaEVs) promote P.

The Prebiotic and Techno-Functional Potential of Microbial Exopolysaccharides for Human Health and Food Systems. [PDF]

Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf
ABSTRACT Microbial exopolysaccharides (EPS) represent a diverse class of biopolymers holding considerable promise as functional food ingredients. This review analyzes the dual function of microbial EPS as a candidate for prebiotic agents and techno‐functional additives.

Dietary Lactobacillus-Derived Exopolysaccharide Enhances Immune-Checkpoint Blockade Therapy

Cancer Discovery, 2022
Dietary consumption of Lactobacillus-derived exopolysaccharide induces CCR6+ CD8+ T cells in Peyer's patches, and these cells distribute into CCL20-expressing tumor tissues to augment immune checkpoint blockade therapies in mice.

Regulation of Biofilm Exopolysaccharide Biosynthesis and Degradation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Annual Review of Microbiology, 2022
Microbial communities enmeshed in a matrix of macromolecules, termed as biofilms, are the natural setting of bacteria. Exopolysaccharide is a critical matrix component of biofilms.
