Complete structure of the enterococcal polysaccharide antigen (EPA) of vancomycin-resistant enterococcus faecalis V583 reveals that EPA decorations are teichoic acids covalently linked to a rhamnopolysaccharide backbone [PDF]

, 2020
All enterococci produce a complex polysaccharide called the enterococcal polysaccharide antigen (EPA). This polymer is required for normal cell growth and division and for resistance to cephalosporins and plays a critical role in host-pathogen ...

Microbial exopolysaccharide production by polyextremophiles in the adaptation to multiple extremes

FEBS Letters, Volume 599, Issue 23, Page 3417-3443, December 2025.
Polyextremophiles are microorganisms that endure multiple extreme conditions by various adaptation strategies that also include the production of exopolysaccharides (EPSs). This review provides an integrated perspective on EPS biosynthesis, function, and regulation in these organisms, emphasizing their critical role in survival and highlighting their ...

Out-group peer involvement in youth alcohol consumption

, 2018
Recent studies of alcohol consumption among students have consistently linked in-group influence with excessive drinking. Concurrently, these studies have largely overlooked the influence of non-alcohol-consuming peers (the out-group) on the in-group's ...

Elm1p, a protein kinase that regulates cell morphology in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]

, 1995
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a pleimorphic ascomycete, capable of growing in the yeast form or the pseudohyphal form. The pseudohyphal form is characterized by elongated cells that possess a unipolar budding pattern and grow in chains away from the center

The Gfr Uptake System Provides a Context‐Dependent Fitness Advantage to Salmonella Typhimurium SL1344 During the Initial Gut Colonization Phase

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 124, Issue 6, Page 507-520, December 2025.
Diet–microbiota interactions shape colonization resistance. While the microbiota restricts pathogens like Salmonella through nutrient competition, Salmonella can exploit private nutrients such as fructoselysine (FL), abundant in processed foods but inaccessible to most microbes.
