Role of exopolysaccharide in Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans-induced bone resorption in a rat model for periodontal disease.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans a causative agent of periodontal disease in humans, forms biofilm on biotic and abiotic surfaces. A. actinomycetemcomitans biofilm is heterogeneous in nature and is composed of proteins, extracellular DNA and ...

Cyclic di-GMP-dependent signaling pathways in the pathogenic Firmicute Listeria monocytogenes.

PLoS Pathogens, 2014
We characterized key components and major targets of the c-di-GMP signaling pathways in the foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes, identified a new c-di-GMP-inducible exopolysaccharide responsible for motility inhibition, cell aggregation, and ...

Analysis of Exopolysaccharides in Lactobacillus casei group Probiotics from Human Breast Milk

Indonesian Journal of Medical Laboratory Science and Technology, 2023
Exopolysaccharides get a lot of attention because they can improve the host immune system. Exopolysaccharide is a polysaccharide that is produced and secreted from microbes outside the cell, usually found on the outside of the bacterial structure.

Production, Characterization and Immunomodulatory Activity of an Extracellular Polysaccharide from Rhodotorula mucilaginosa YL-1 Isolated from Sea Salt Field

Marine Drugs, 2020
A novel exopolysaccharide from marine-derived red yeast Rhodotorula mucilaginosa strain YL-1 was produced and characterized. The highest yield of polysaccharide reached 15.1 g/L after medium and culture parameter optimization.

Production of Exopolysaccharide by Lactobacillus plantarum and the Prebiotic Activity of the Exopolysaccharide

Food Science and Technology Research, 2010
Characteristics of an exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by a mutant strain of Lactobacillus plantarum, strain 301102S, including yield from whey, monosaccharide analysis, and prebiotic activity, were investigated. The EPS production in whey was higher at 25°C than at 30 and 37°C. The supplementation with yeast extract and glucose in whey gave a high EPS

The Role of Exopolysaccharides in Oral Biofilms [PDF]

Journal of Dental Research, 2019
The oral cavity contains a rich consortium of exopolysaccharide-producing microbes. These extracellular polysaccharides comprise a major component of the oral biofilm. Together with extracellular proteins, DNA, and lipids, they form the biofilm matrix, which contributes to bacterial colonization, biofilm formation and maintenance, and pathogenesis ...

Kingella kingae Surface Polysaccharides Promote Resistance to Neutrophil Phagocytosis and Killing

mBio, 2019
Bacterial pathogens have evolved strategies that enable them to evade neutrophil-mediated killing. The Gram-negative coccobacillus Kingella kingae is an emerging pediatric pathogen and is increasingly recognized as a common etiological agent of ...
