Enzymatic modifications of exopolysaccharides enhance bacterial persistence

, 2015
Biofilms are surface-attached communities of bacterial cells embedded in a self-produced matrix that are found ubiquitously in nature. The biofilm matrix is composed of various extracellular polymeric substances, which confer advantages to the ...

Exopolysaccharide-Producing Bacteria Regulate Soil Aggregates and Bacterial Communities to Inhibit the Uptake of Cadmium and Lead by Lettuce

Microorganisms
The accumulation of heavy metals in the soil not only causes serious damage to the soil ecosystem, but also threatens human health through the food chain.

Directed Evolution of Plant‐Associated Bacteria Enhances Plant Holobiont Stress Tolerance

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant stress responses are shaped by both the plant genome and its associated microbial communities, which together form the plant holobiont. Given the rapid adaptive potential of plant‐associated microbes, we hypothesised that directed evolution under selective pressure can accelerate the development of holobiont‐level stress tolerance ...

Utilization of purple sweet potato synbiotic drink as a source of lactic acid bacteria exopolysaccharides for immunomodulation

Pharmaciana
Immunomodulators, such as exopolysaccharides (EPS), can be found in products processed through lactic acid bacteria (LAB) fermentation. Purple sweet potatoes have the potential to be used as ingredients for making synbiotic drinks because of the high ...

Synthesis and application of bacterial exopolysaccharides

Current Opinion in Chemical Biology
Exopolysaccharides are produced and excreted by bacteria in the generation of biofilms to provide a protective environment. These polysaccharides are generally generated as heterogeneous polymers of varying length, featuring diverse substitution patterns.

CrustCheck: a conceptual framework for interpreting biocrust trait–function relationships in drylands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Biocrusts are increasingly recognized for their contribution to soil stability, hydrology, nutrient cycling, and energy balance in drylands, yet practical field methods for assessing functional roles are limited. Existing approaches typically rely on cover estimates, taxonomic identification, or laboratory analyses, providing ...

Application of Pseudomonas mosselii PR5 Enables Fertilizer Reduction in Rice While Maintaining Yield, Grain Quality, and Soil Nutrient Dynamics

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Overuse of agrochemicals negatively affects the health of soil and biodiversity and the quality of water. Pseudomonas mosselii PR5 seed priming and foliar application increase nutrient assimilation and pathogen suppression. PR5, when applied with reduced fertilizer rates, enhances rice growth, yield, grain protein, soil organic matter, economic returns,
