The exopolysaccharide Psl-eDNA interaction enables the formation of a biofilm skeleton in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
TL;DR: The physical interaction between exopolysaccharide Psl and eDNA, the two key biofilm matrix components of the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, is shown, allowing the two components to combine to form a web of eDNA-Psl fibres, which resembles a biofilm skeleton in the centre of pellicles to give bacteria structural support and capability against agents targeted on one matrix component.
Coordination of swarming motility, biosurfactant synthesis, and biofilm matrix exopolysaccharide production in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
TL;DR: A mechanism that bacteria utilize to coordinate swarming motility, biosurfactant synthesis, and biofilm matrix exopolysaccharide production, which is critical for biofilm formation and bacterial survival in the environment is found.

A Survival Strategy for Pseudomonas aeruginosa That Uses Exopolysaccharides To Sequester and Store Iron To Stimulate Psl-Dependent Biofilm Formation.
TL;DR: It is shown that a high level of iron enhanced the production of the key biofilm matrix exopolysaccharide Psl to stimulate Psl-dependent biofilm formation, suggesting a survival strategy of P. aeruginosa under high-iron environmental conditions.

TL;DR: In this article , an inventory of lipoproteins that are transported to the cell surface via LptDE was identified, revealing a unique mechanism through which lipoprotein are translocated across the outer membrane in an ATP-and LPS-dependent manner.
