- W2986310069 abstract "Biofilms are multicellular aggregates of bacteria that are encased in an extracellular matrix. The biofilm matrix of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 is composed of eDNA, proteins, and the polysaccharides Pel and Psl. This matrix is thought to be degraded during dispersion to liberate cells from the biofilms, with dispersion being apparent not only by single cells escaping from the biofilm but also leaving behind eroded or hollowed-out biofilm. However, little is known of the factors involved in matrix degradation. Here, we focused on the glycoside hydrolases PelA and PslG. We demonstrate that induction of pelA but not pslG expression resulted in dispersion. As Psl is tethered to the matrix adhesin CdrA, we furthermore explored the role of CdrA in dispersion. cdrA mutant biofilms were hyperdispersive, while lapG mutant biofilms were impaired in dispersion in response to glutamate and nitric oxide, indicating the presence of the surface-associated matrix protein CdrA impedes the dispersion response. In turn, insertional inactivation of cdrA enabled pslG-induced dispersion. Lowering of the intracellular c-di-GMP level via induction of PA2133 encoding a phosphodiesterase was not sufficient to induce dispersion by wild-type strains and strains overexpressing pslG, indicating that pslG-induced dispersion is independent of c-di-GMP modulation and, likely, LapG.IMPORTANCEPseudomonas aeruginosa forms multicellular aggregates or biofilms encased in a matrix. We show for the first time here that dispersion by P. aeruginosa requires the endogenous expression of pelA and pslG, leading to the degradation of both Pel and Psl polysaccharides, with PslG-induced dispersion being CdrA dependent. The findings suggested that endogenously induced Psl degradation is a sequential process, initiated by untethering of CdrA-bound Psl or CdrA-dependent cell interactions to enable Psl degradation and ultimately, dispersion. Untethering likely involves CdrA release in a manner independent of c-di-GMP modulation and thus LapG. Our findings not only provide insight into matrix degrading factors contributing to dispersion but also identify key steps in the degradation of structural components of the P. aeruginosa biofilm matrix." @default.
