Digestive exophagy of Bacterial Biofilms by an Amoeba Predator is Mediated by Specific Biofilm Recognition

2022-09-25

Abstract excerpt

The human protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica is responsible for amebiasis, a disease endemic to developing countries. E. histolytica trophozoites are released from the cysts to colonize the large intestine, where they primarily feed on bacterial cells. In these scenarios, bacterial cells form aggregates or structured communities too large for phagocytosis. Our results show that E. histolytica can degrade...
