A polymer–solvent model of biofilm growth (2011, background): “Biofilm composition is highly variable, but the cellular content of mature biofilm is typically only 2–5% (Sutherland 2001b).”
Bacterially Induced Mineralization of Calcium Carbonate in Terrestrial Environments: The Role of Exopolysaccharides and Amino Acids (2003, background): “Most microbial cells in natural environments form communities inside microbial biofilms (Decho 1990, 2000; Sutherland 2001 a, 2001 b).”
Listeria: A foodborne pathogen that knows how to survive. (2007, background): “Microbial biofilms demonstrate a decreased growth rate, variation in the genes transcribed (Donlan, 2002), higher rate of gene transfer by conjugation (Hausner and Wuertz, 1999), increased production of exopolysaccharide (Sutherland, 2001) and more importantly an enhanced resistance to sanitizers, d”
Bacterial Extracellular Polysaccharides Involved in Biofilm Formation (2009, background): “The formation of biofilms is a prerequisite for the existence of all microbial aggregates [14,15] as an essential step in the survival of bacterial populations [16].”
Cyanobacterial Mats and Stromatolites (2000, background): “EPS produced by cyanobacteria are often rich in uronic acids and contain other acidic groups such as pyruvate, succinate, sulphate and phosphate groups and hence are negatively charged polyanions (Bertocchi et al. 1990 ; De Philippis et al. 2001 ; Sutherland 2001 ) .”
The pgaABCD Locus of Escherichia coli Promotes the Synthesis of a Polysaccharide Adhesin Required for Biofilm Formation (2004, background): “Although these are not the only polysaccharides that may serve as biofilm adhesins (59), we expect them to function as adhesins in species that produce them.”
Phosphate solubilizing microbes: sustainable approach for managing phosphorus deficiency in agricultural soils (2013, background): “Their composition and structures are very varied; they may be homo- or heteropolysaccharides and may also contain a number of different organic and inorganic substituents (Sutherland 2001).”
Phosphate-Solubilizing Microorganisms: Mechanism and Their Role in Phosphate Solubilization and Uptake (2020, background): “Exopolysaccharides are homo or heteropolymers of carbohydrates with an organic or inorganic component that is exuded by microorganisms outside their cell wall (Sutherland 2001).”
Biofilms: Microbial Life on Surfaces (2002, background): “The presence of uronic acids (such as D-glucuronic, D-galacturonic, and mannuronic acids) or ketal-linked pryruvates confers the anionic property (39).”
Bacterial Extracellular Polysaccharides in Biofilm Formation and Function (2015, background): “This acetylated polymer structure yields a highly hygroscopic PS promoting bio ﬁ lm ﬂ uidity and resistance to desiccation (2, 92).”
