Anionic amino acids support hydrolysis of poly-β-(1,6)-N-acetylglucosamine exopolysaccharides by the biofilm dispersing glycosidase Dispersin B

The exopolysaccharide poly-β-(1→6)-N-acetylglucosamine (PNAG) is a major structural determinant of bacterial biofilms responsible for persistent and nosocomial infections. The enzymatic dispersal of biofilms by PNAG-hydrolyzing glycosidase enzymes, such as Dispersin B (DspB), is a possible approach...
