The EPS-I exopolysaccharide transforms <i>Ralstonia</i> wilt pathogen biofilms into viscoelastic fluids for rapid dissemination <i>in planta</i>
2025-05-22
Abstract excerpt
Ralstonia solanacearum species complex (RSSC) pathogens cause destructive plant wilt diseases of a wide variety of crops, leading to significant agricultural losses worldwide. These bacteria rapidly spread through the water-transporting xylem where they grow prolifically and produce abundant biofilm that clogs xylem vessels. To understand RSSC biofilm behavior in planta , we examined their complex fluid mechanics...
