Production of mucoid exopolysaccharide during development of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms

B D Hoyle et al. Infect Immun. 1993 Feb.

Abstract

Production of mucoid exopolysaccharide by planktonic, chemostat-derived, and adherent Pseudomonas aeruginosa 579 bacteria was separately monitored for 7 days by using a lacZ-algD promoter-reporter gene and assays of total carbohydrate and metabolic activity. Mucoid exopolysaccharide production was transiently elevated following adherence but declined to planktonic levels by day 7.
