Bacterial exopolysaccharides : structure and functions

, 2016
Exopolysaccharides fulfil protective functions and allow bacteria live in the communities, single or mixed, by facilitating adhesion to surfaces and to each other. Microbes prefer to exist in the form of a biofilm. The term biofilm was introduced in 1978

Immunomodulatory and antioxidant potential of Lactobacillus exopolysaccharides

, 2014
BACKGROUND: Immuno modulation by probiotic microorganisms has become a topic of increasing interest in food microbiology. Polysaccharides are broadly used in the food industry as gelling, thickening, stabilizing, or emulsifying agents.

Characterization and Removal of Multispecies Biofilms Formed by L. monocytogenes, S. aureus, and E. coli

Journal of Food Safety, Volume 46, Issue 4, August 2026.
The formation of mono‐, dual‐, and triple‐species biofilms by L. monocytogenes, S. aureus, and E. coli was characterized by cell growth, metabolic activity, staining, and microscopy. Their resistance to a commercial disinfectant (NaOCl) and natural agents such as vinegar and lactic acid was evaluated.

A Chirality‐Converted Bacteriolytic Dodecapeptide Regulates Vibrio‐Induced Polymicrobial Infection and Ameliorates Invasion‐Associated Gut Microbiota Disequilibrium

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 38, 9 July 2026.
Multidrug‐resistant Vibrio infections are rising rapidly and threaten coastal populations worldwide. This study introduces D‐zp37, a chirality‐engineered antimicrobial peptide with exceptional potency against resistant Vibrio species. D‐zp37 kills planktonic cells, blocks mixed‐species biofilms, disrupts essential bacterial stress responses, and shows ...

Soil Microbiota and Rhizosphere Dynamics: Ecological Mechanisms Driving Crop Stress Adaptation in Climate‐Smart Agriculture

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change‐mediated abiotic stresses limit crop performance, and plant responses are increasingly recognized as emergent properties of the coupling between soil, plants, and microbiomes rather than inherent plant characteristics. This review synthesizes mechanistic evidence from 2020 to 2025 on how rhizosphere microbiota contribute to crop

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, Volume 57, Issue 7, Page 1296-1308, July 2026.
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 ...

Advancements in Mass Spectrometry‐Based Glycomics in Food and Nutritional Science

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, Volume 45, Issue 4, Page 829-850, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT This review highlights advancements in mass spectrometry (MS)‐based glycomics in food and nutritional science. Carbohydrates, which are vital for human health, exhibit complex structures, making their analysis challenging. MS has become an indispensable tool for elucidating the structures of carbohydrates, including glycans, through soft ...
