Exopolysaccharide Quantification for the Plant Pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum

Bio-Protocol, 2017
Soluble exopolysaccharide is a major virulence factor produced by the plant pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum. Its massive production during plant infection is associated with the arrest of water flow in xylem vessels leading eventually to plant death. The

Co‐inoculation with Bacillus and exopolysaccharide Cp2‐exopolysaccharides promotes salt stress tolerance and productivity in alfalfa

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Co‐inoculation with Bacillus and Cp2‐Exopolysaccharides (EPS) promotes salt stress tolerance and productivity in alfalfa. CK1 (control1): distilled water, DN2: Bacillus strain DN2, EPS: Exopolysaccharide, CK2 (control2): 100 mmol·L‐1 NaCl, S: Salt. Abstract Background Alfalfa is one of the most important forage crops in the world, and its performance ...

Identification of the Clostridial cellulose synthase and characterization of the cognate glycosyl hydrolase, CcsZ.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Biofilms are community structures of bacteria enmeshed in a self-produced matrix of exopolysaccharides. The biofilm matrix serves numerous roles, including resilience and persistence, making biofilms a subject of research interest among persistent ...

Comparison of the virulence of exopolysaccharide-producing Prevotella intermedia to exopolysaccharide non-producing periodontopathic organisms [PDF]

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2011
Evidence in the literature suggests that exopolysaccharides (EPS) produced by bacterial cells are essential for the expression of virulence in these organisms. Secreted EPSs form the framework in which microbial biofilms are built.This study evaluates the role of EPS in Prevotella intermedia for the expression of virulence.

Synthetic microbial communities for engineering climate‐smart biofertilizers

iMeta, EarlyView.
Global agricultural productivity is increasingly destabilized by climate change—driven droughts, floods, extreme heat, and severe storms. Although the climate‐smart agriculture (CSA) framework addresses these challenges, implementation has focused mainly on plant genetics and agronomic inputs, leaving the adaptive potential of the crop microbiome ...

The Effect of Cellulose Overproduction on Binding and Biofilm Formation on Roots by Agrobacterium tumefaciens

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2005
Agrobacterium tumefaciens growing in liquid attaches to the surface of tomato and Arabidopsis thaliana roots, forming a biofilm. The bacteria also colonize roots grown in sterile quartz sand.

Enviromics crosstalk between internal and external plant environments for enhanced adaptation and de novo domestication

iMeta, EarlyView.
Climate change demands accelerated plant adaptation and de novo domestication. Yet current enviromics focuses disproportionately on external environments, neglecting internal dynamics—gene expression, metabolic flux, and signal transduction—within predictive envirotyping frameworks.

Optimizing feather hydrolysate via machine learning for microbial recycling of waste concrete fines

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The concrete industry faces significant challenges from CO2 emissions and the disposal of waste concrete fines (WCF). Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) can bind WCF into bioconcrete, but the high cost of commercial culture media hinders its application.

HmsB, a small RNA, enhances biofilm formation in Yersinia pestis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
The hmsHFRS operon is responsible for biosynthesis and translocation of biofilm matrix exopolysaccharide. Yersinia pestis expresses the two sole diguanylate cyclases HmsT and HmsD and the sole phosphodiesterase HmsP, which are specific for biosynthesis ...

Method Based on Continuous Artificial Dry and Humid UV Treatments to Reduce the Luminescence Background in the Raman Spectra of Plastics

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
We propose an UV photobleaching pretreatment to reduce the strong luminescence in the Raman spectra of plastic samples. Our protocol proves its efficiency whatever the luminescence origin (from the pigments or from a surface biofilm) but requires a careful optimization of the illumination conditions (UV wavelength, time, humidity) to reach the ...
