epsSMASH uncovers exopolysaccharide biosynthetic gene clusters in environmental and human microbiomes

2025-12-23

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Biofilms represent the default mode of bacterial life in natural and built environments, with extracellular polysaccharides (exoPS) serving as essential structural and functional components of the biofilm matrix. Despite their importance, exoPS production in these environments is largely unknown. Here we present epsSMASH, a bioinformatic tool and web service for predicting known and novel exoPS b...
