Pseudomonas aeruginosa lectin LecB is located in the outer membrane and is involved in biofilm formation.
Denis Tielker,Stephanie Hacker,Remy Loris,Martin Strathmann,Jost Wingender,Susanne Wilhelm,Frank Rosenau,Karl-Erich Jaeger +7 more
TL;DR: The physiology has been studied of the lectin LecB, which binds specifically to L-fucose in P. aeruginosa, and it is demonstrated that LECB could be released specifically by treatment of the outer-membrane fraction with p-nitrophenyl alpha-L-Fucose, whereas treatment with D-galactose had no effect.

Application of fluorescently labelled lectins for the visualization and biochemical characterization of polysaccharides in biofilms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
TL;DR: The application of fluorescently labelled lectins in combination with ELLA was found to be useful for the visualization and characterization of extracellular polysaccharide structures in P. aeruginosa biofilms.

Occurrence and fate of the angiotensin II receptor antagonist transformation product valsartan acid in the water cycle – A comparative study with selected β-blockers and the persistent anthropogenic wastewater indicators carbamazepine and acesulfame
Karsten Nödler,Olav Hillebrand,Krzysztof R. Idzik,Martin Strathmann,Ferry Schiperski,Johannes Zirlewagen,Tobias Licha +6 more
TL;DR: The substantial transformation of the angiotensin II receptor antagonist valsartan to the transformation product 2'-(2H-tetrazol-5-yl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-carboxylic acid during the activated sludge process was demonstrated in the literature and confirmed in the here presented study.

Alginate acetylation influences initial surface colonization by mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
TL;DR: Results suggest that acetyl substituents are necessary for the function of high-molecular-mass alginate to mediate cell aggregation into microcolonies in the early stages of biofilm development by mucoid P. aeruginosa, thereby determining the architecture of the mature biofilm.

Use of an oxonol dye in combination with confocal laser scanning microscopy to monitor damage to Staphylococcus aureus cells during colonisation of silver-coated vascular grafts
Martin Strathmann,Jost Wingender +1 more
TL;DR: Both the extent of biofilm formation and the proportion of viable biofilm cells were significantly diminished on the surface of the silver-coated vascular grafts compared with uncoated controls, probably due to the antimicrobial activity of silver ions released from the silver -coated graft surface.
