Investigating the Roles of the Stk Locus in Development, Motility and Exopolysaccharide Production in Myxococcus Xanthus
… Beside the polarly localized TFP, the fibril or extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) is also required for S-motility to function. It is proposed that S-motility, along with the related bacterial twitching motility in other species, is powered by TFP retraction. EPS is proposed to anchor and trigger …

Characterization and control of biofilm and biofluid microstructure and rheology
… a community of cells embedded in a self-produced extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) matrix. The EPS gives biofilms three-dimensional structures, protecting cells in biofilms by making them more resistant to chemical and physical attack. It is thought that the proper characterisation of biofilms is …

The Effect of Nitrates, pH, and Dissolved Inorganic Carbon Concentrations on the Extracellular Polysaccharide of Three Strains of Cyanobacteria Belonging to the Family Nostocaceae
… the production and chemical composition of extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) in response to carbon and nitrogen availability as well as pH. While the carbohydrate compositions of the glycans produced by the different organisms were indicative of their recent evolutionary divergence, there …

Carbohydrate-Interacting Proteins from Two Nostoc (Cyanobacteria) Species
… that are responsible for producing the extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) of Nostoc commune DRH1, ultimately to allow the transfer of this capacity to another organism. Two artificial substrates were synthesized for use in a capillary electrophoresis-based enzyme assay, which was used to …

Comparative analysis of two attachment variants of butyrivibrio fibrisolvens.
… attachment, and their phenotypic stability. Extracellular protein, chromosomal DNA, plasmid and 16S rDNA profiles of the two variants were examined. Compared to the non-adhering L cells, the adhering S cells were shinier, spherical, more intensely pigmented (yellow), more firmly attached to …
