Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous bacterium and a notorious opportunistic pathogen
that forms biofilm structures in response to many environmental cues. Biofilm formation …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa causes persistent infections in the airways of cystic fibrosis (CF)
patients. Airway sputum contains various host-derived nutrients that can be utilized by P …

Microbial communities enmeshed in a matrix of macromolecules, termed as biofilms, are the
natural setting of bacteria. Exopolysaccharide is a critical matrix component of biofilms …

Biofilms are often described as protective shelters that preserve bacteria from hostile
surroundings. However, biofilm bacteria are also exposed to various stresses and need to …

Bacterial biofilm communities are associated with profound physiological changes that lead
to novel properties compared to the properties of individual (planktonic) bacteria. The study …

Microorganisms enhance fitness by prioritizing catabolism of available carbon sources using
a process known as carbon catabolite repression (CCR). Planktonically grown …

The process of detachment, through which bacteria use active mechanisms to leave biofilms
and return to the planktonic (free‐living) state, is perhaps the least understood aspect of the …

Oppurtunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa is known as most adaptive bacteria to
diversity of ecological niches thanks to their multifactorial regulating system and non …

In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the orphan two-component sensor SagS contributes both to
transition to biofilm formation and to biofilm cells gaining their heightened tolerance to …

Pel exopolysaccharide biosynthetic loci are phylogenetically widespread biofilm matrix
determinants in bacteria. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pel is crucial for cell-to-cell …
