| Abstract | The biofilms and rugose colony morphology of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium strains are usually associated with at least two different exopolymeric substances (EPS), curli and cellulose. In this study, another EPS, a capsular polysaccharide (CP) synthesized constitutively in S. enterica serovar Typhimurium strain DT104 at 25 and 37°C, has been recognized as a biofilm matrix component as well. Fluorophore-assisted carbohydrate electrophoresis (FACE) analysis indicated that the CP is comprised principally of glucose and mannose, with galactose as a minor constituent. The composition differs from that of known colanic acid-containing CP that is isolated from cells of Escherichia coli and other enteric bacteria grown at 37°C. The reactivity of carbohydrate-specific lectins conjugated to fluorescein isothiocyanate or gold particles with cellular carbohydrates demonstrated the cell surface localization of CP. Further, lectin binding also correlated with the FACE analysis of CP. Immunoelectron microscopy, using specific antibodies against CP, confirmed that CP surrounds the cells. Confocal microscopy of antibody-labeled cells showed greater biofilm formation at 25°C than at 37°C. Since the CP was shown to be produced at both 37°C and 25°C, it does not appear to be significantly involved in attachment during the early formation of the biofilm matrix. Although the attachment of S. enterica serovar Typhimurium DT104 does not appear to be mediated by its CP, the capsule does contribute to the biofilm matrix and may have a role in other features of this organism, such as virulence, as has been shown previously for the capsules of other gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
