Distance-dependent Conformation of Saccharides in Models of Interacting Bacteria Surfaces
Bacterial biofilms are involved in most microbial infections and also have important impacts on industrial processes. The outermost membrane surfaces of an important bacteria class are rendered with negatively charged lipid-anchored carbohydrates. These complex sugar layers govern bacterial interactions in biofilms and it was shown that the chemical structure of the carbohydrates influences structural and mechanical properties of biofilms. In order to gain molecular-scale structural insight into the interaction of bacteria membranes we propose the use of neutron reflectometry with model membranes displaying oligosaccharides.
