Identification of V. parvula and S. gordonii adhesins mediating co-aggregation and its impact on physiology and mixed biofilm structure

L. DORISON, N. BECHON, C. MARTIN-GALLAUSIAUX, S. V. CHAMORRO RODRIGUEZ, Y. VITRENKO, R. OUAZAHROU, R. VILLA, J. DESCHAMPS, R. BRIANDET, S. GRIBALDO, J.-M. GHIGO, C. BELOIN

This study identifies adhesins in V. parvula and S. gordonii that mediate co-aggregation and shows its role in biofilm structure without affecting cell-cell communication.

Diversification of molecular pattern recognition in bacterial NLR-like proteins

N. Bechon, N. Tal, A. Stokar-Avihail, S. Melamed, G. Amitai, R. Sorek

The paper shows that KpAvs2 recognizes a different phage protein, Ksap1, during infection compared to heterologous co-expression assays.

Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron uses a widespread extracellular DNase to promote bile-dependent biofilm formation

N. BECHON, J. MIHAJLOVIC, A.-A. LOPES, S. VENDRELL-FERNANDEZ, J. DESCHAMPS, R. BRIANDET, O. SISMEIRO, I. MARTIN-VERSTRAETE, B. DUPUY, J.-M. GHIGO

This study identifies bile as a trigger for biofilm formation in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron and shows that extracellular DNA degradation by DNase BT3563 is essential for this process.

Autotransporters drive biofilm formation and auto-aggregation in the diderm Firmicute Veillonella parvula

N. Bechon, A. Jimenez-Fernandez, J. Witwinowski, E. Bierque, N. Taib, T. Cokelaer, L. Ma, J.-M. Ghigo, S. Gribaldo, C. Beloin

This study identifies autotransporters as key drivers of biofilm formation and auto-aggregation in Veillonella parvula using genetic tools and functional analyses.

Capsular polysaccharides cross-regulation modulates Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron biofilm formation

N. BECHON, J. MIHAJLOVIC, S. VENDRELL-FERNANDEZ, F. CHAIN, P. LANGELLA, C. BELOIN, J.-M. GHIGO

This study identifies capsular polysaccharide cross-regulation as a key determinant of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron biofilm formation, showing that capsule 8 has intrinsic adhesive properties while other capsules inhibit biofilm formation.
