Exopolysaccharides play a role in the swarming of the benthic bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. SM9913

Exopolysaccharides play a role in the swarming of the benthic bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. SM9913

Most marine bacteria secrete exopolysaccharide (EPS), which is important for bacterial survival in the marine environment. However, it is still unclear whether the self-secreted EPS is involved in marine bacterial motility. Here we studied the role of EPS in the lateral flagella-driven swarming moti...
