Expression of a uniquely regulated extracellular polysaccharide confers a large-capsule phenotype to Bacteroides fragilis.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Feb 2008

Chatzidaki-Livanis Maria, Coyne Michael J, Roche-Hakansson Hazeline, Comstock Laurie E

Abstract excerpt

Bacteroides fragilis synthesizes eight distinct capsular polysaccharides, more than any described bacterium outside the order Bacteroidales. Here, we show that this organism also produces a high-molecular-weight extracellular polysaccharide (EPS). Expression of the EPS results in the formation of...
