colanic acid

02/01/2015 - "Overproduction of colanic acid was observed in some phage-resistant mutant bacteria after infection with other bacteriophages, T4 and lambda. "
06/01/2008 - "Here, we show that YncC increases biofilm formation by repressing overproduction of the exopolysaccharide identified as colanic acid (corroborated by decreasing mucoidy and increased sensitivity to bacteriophage P1 infection). "
01/01/2019 - "Capsular polysaccharides are known to have a protective effect against phagocytosis, therefore we assessed the role of colanic acid in virulence by conducting infection studies on murine macrophages. "
04/01/1995 - "In summary, the inability of CP9 to produce colanic acid in the presence or absence of its K54 and O4 antigens had no effect on its ability to survive these host defenses in vitro and did not affect its virulence in these two in vivo models of infection."
02/01/2015 - "Phage-encoded colanic acid-degrading enzyme permits lytic phage infection of a capsule-forming resistant mutant Escherichia coli strain."

12/01/2018 - "Here, RNA sequencing analyses together with quantitative reverse-transcription PCR revealed that ExPEC genes involved in the biosynthesis of extracytoplasmic polysaccharides (ECPs) including K-capsule, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), colanic acid, peptidoglycan and Yjb exopolysaccharides were significantly upregulated in response to serum under low oxygen conditions and during bloodstream infection. "

11/01/2019 - "The operon, known to influence the formation of curli fibres and colanic acid, is usually expressed during periods of starvation. "
