The polysaccharide extracted from the biofilm of Burkholderia multivorans strain C1576 binds hydrophobic species and exhibits a compact 3D-structure

Microorganisms often grow in communities called biofilms where cells are imbedded in a complex self-produced biopolymeric matrix composed mainly of polysaccharides, proteins, and DNA. This matrix, together with cell proximity, confers many advantages to these microbial communities, but also constitu...
