Site-Specific Conditions Change the Response of Bacterial Producers of Soil Structure-Stabilizing Agents Such as Exopolysaccarides and Lipopolysaccarides to Tillage Intensity [PDF]

, 2020
Agro-ecosystems experience huge losses of land every year due to soil erosion induced by poor agricultural practices such as intensive tillage. Erosion can be minimized by the presence of stable soil aggregates, the formation of which can be promoted by ...

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.

Microbial Exopolysaccharides as Drug Carriers [PDF]

Polymers, 2020
Microbial exopolysaccharides are peculiar polymers that are produced by living organisms and protect them against environmental factors. These polymers are industrially recovered from the medium culture after performing a fermentative process. These materials are biocompatible and biodegradable, possessing specific and beneficial properties for ...

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.
