Role of exopolysaccharides in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm formation and architecture.

Applied and environmental microbiology - 1 Aug 2011

Abstract excerpt

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen and has been established as a model organism to study bacterial biofilm formation. At least three exopolysaccharides (alginate, Psl, and Pel) contribute to the formation of biofilms in this organism. Here mutants deficient in the production of one or more of these polysaccharides were generated to investigate how these polymers interactively contribute to...
