Matrix polysaccharides and SiaD diguanylate cyclase alter community structure and competitiveness of Pseudomonas aeruginosa during dual-species biofilm development with Staphylococ... by Chew, Su Chuen, Yam, Joey Kuok Hoong, Matysik, Artur, Seng, Zi Jing, Klebensberger, Janosch, Givskov, Michael, Doyle, Patrick, Rice, Scott A., Yang, Liang, Kjelleberg, Staffan

“…This regulatory control was also found to be independent of the siderophore pyoverdine and Pseudomonas quinolone signal, which have previously been proposed to reduce S. aureus viability by inducing lactic acid fermentation-based growth. In contrast to the effect mediated by Psl, Pel reduced the effective crosslinking of the biofilm matrix and facilitated superdiffusivity in microcolony regions. …”
