Modulation of Lipoteichoic Acids and Exopolysaccharides Prevents Streptococcus mutans Biofilm Accumulation

Molecules, 2020
Dental caries is a diet–biofilm-dependent disease. Streptococcus mutans contributes to cariogenic biofilms by producing an extracellular matrix rich in exopolysaccharides and acids.

The Role of Exopolysaccharides in Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) is an effective mechanism for microbial species to exchange electrons cooperatively during syntrophic metabolism. It is generally accepted that DIET is mainly mediated by electrically conductive pili and outer

Priority changes between biofilm exopolysaccharides synthesis and rhamnolipids production are mediated by a c-di-GMP-specific phosphodiesterase NbdA in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

iScience, 2022
Summary: The synthesis of biofilm exopolysaccharides and rhamnolipids (RLs) are two interrelated processes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, but how bacteria coordinate these two processes remains unclear. We collected a P.
