Exopolysaccharide Anchoring Creates an Extreme Resistance to Sedimentation

By evolving strains of Escherichia coli that hyperresist sedimentation, we discovered an uncharacterized mechanism that bacteria can use to remain in suspension indefinitely without expending energy. This unusual phenotype was traced to the anchoring of long colanic acid polymers (CAP) that project...
