Dynamic Remodeling of Microbial Biofilms by Functionally Distinct Exopolysaccharides
Biofilms are densely populated communities of microbial cells protected and held together by a matrix of extracellular polymeric substances. The structure and rheological properties of the matrix at the microscale influence the retention and transport of molecules and cells in the biofilm, thereby dictating population and community behavior. Despite its importance, quantitative descriptions of ...
متن کاملMicrobial Exopolysaccharides: A Review of Their Function and Application in Food Sciences
Extracellular polymeric substances are defined as high molecular weight compounds secreted by the microorganisms in the surrounding area. Since these extracellular substances are mainly polysaccharide, they are named exopolysaccharide. Microbial exopolysaccharides composed of sugar residue have growing interest as a new class of microbial products which can be used in food, pharmaceutical, and ...
متن کاملEffect of tt-farnesol and myricetin on in vitro biofilm formed by Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans
BACKGROUND Dental caries is considered a multifactorial disease, in which microorganisms play an important role. The diet is decisive in the biofilm formation because it provides the necessary resources for cellular growth and exopolysaccharides synthesis. Exopolysaccharides are the main components of the extracellular matrix (ECM). The ECM provides a 3D structure, support for the microorganism...
متن کاملRole of Cyanobacterial Exopolysaccharides in Phototrophic Biofilms and in Complex Microbial Mats
Exopolysaccharides (EPSs) are an important class of biopolymers with great ecological importance. In natural environments, they are a common feature of microbial biofilms, where they play key protective and structural roles. As the primary colonizers of constrained environments, such as desert soils and lithic and exposed substrates, cyanobacteria are the first contributors to the synthesis of ...
متن کاملPromising biotechnological applications of antibiofilm exopolysaccharides
Polysaccharides are polymers of carbohydrates with an enormous structural diversity, from long linear repetition of the same monomer to highly branched structures of different sugars. This high structural diversity reflects the functional diversity of these molecules. There are two types of polysaccharides, storage polysaccharides (i.e. glycogen) and structural polysaccharides, which are normal...
