Bacterial extracellular polymeric substances as potential saliva substitute

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2022
Abstract This proof-of-principle study aims to find commensal oral bacteria that can produce extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), which have similar lubrication properties to saliva and could serve as saliva substitutes. Saliva and plaque samples were collected from 21 generally healthy individuals.

Effects of Waste Activated Sludge Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS) Composition on Biosorption for Primary Carbon Diversion [PDF]

, 2021
Extracellular polymeric substances make up a significant fraction of the organic matter in waste activated sludge, strongly influence the sludge’s physicochemical properties, as well as serve biological functions. Biosorption is a physicochemical process

Extracellular polymeric substances and structural stability of aerobic granule [PDF]

Water Research, 2008
The contributions of individual components in extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) on structural stability of phenol-fed, aerobic granules were examined. The roles of proteins, alpha- and beta-polysaccharides, and lipids were studied via their selective hydrolysis using enzymes, and the structural changes of granule were probed using in situ ...

A novel quinazolinone insulin receptor inhibitor and its synergy with an EGFR inhibitor in glucose‐driven glioblastoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The novel styrylquinazolinone‐based molecule W1B effectively suppresses glioblastoma by inhibiting IGF1R and EGFR. In high‐glucose microenvironments driving tumor resistance, W1B acts synergistically with the EGFR inhibitor dacomitinib. This combination safely blocks compensatory survival signaling in zebrafish xenograft models. Showcasing promising in

PANoptosis in the pathogenesis of myelodysplastic syndromes

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
PANoptosis, a combination of three types of programmed cell death, is mediated by a large protein complex called a PANoptosome. In healthy bone marrow hematopoietic cells, PANoptosis is restricted by inhibitory signaling. In MDS, bone marrow cells become sensitive to the PANoptotic stimuli due to the aberrant inactivation of inhibitory signaling or ...

Optimization for extracellular polymeric substances extraction of microbial aggregates

Water Science and Technology, 2015
The extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are important macromolecular components in microbial aggregates. The three EPS extraction methods – ultrasound + cation exchange resins (CER) + sulfide, ultrasound + formamide + NaOH, and ultrasound + heat – were investigated in the study, and the component differences of extracted EPS from the loose flocs ...

Amalgamation of Biofilms and Synthetic Biology: A Paradigm Shift in Biotechnology

Medical Principles and Practice
Biofilms are intricately organized microbial communities enveloped in self-produced extracellular polymeric substances. They display remarkable resilience to environmental and antimicrobial stresses and adhere to various surfaces.

p190A/ARHGAP35 and p190B/ARHGAP5 proteins in endometrial cancer: a novel cancer‐relevant paralog interplay

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study identifies ARHGAP5, in addition to the frequently mutated ARHGAP35, as significantly mutated in endometrial cancer. Mutations in both genes co‐occur and are associated with their correlated downregulation. Functional CRISPR studies show that both paralogs regulate similar pathways, including actin cytoskeleton organization.

Binding of phenanthrene to extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) from aerobic activated sludge: A fluorescence study

, 2010
Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are the essential components of activated sludge for removal of pollutants from wastewater. Limited information is available on the binding constants and binding mode of organic pollutants to EPS.
