摘要

Filamentous bacteria capable of transmitting electricity across centimeter-scale distances have recently been discovered in marine sediments. Using microsensor profiling, Malkin and Meysman (p. 948956) demonstrated that these cable bacteria can interact with a photosynthetic biofilm in a salt marsh sediment. Oxygen produced by the biofilm during photosynthesis caused cable bacteria to immediately increase sulfide oxidation down to a depth of several centimeters within the sediment. Additionally, a behavioral response of cable bacteria was revealed on the time scale of hours, suggesting that these bacteria have the capacity to sense and respond to changes in their redox environment.The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of proteobacteria has shown important antigenic properties and several protective functions. However, the role of LPS in cell-cell interactions is not fully understood. Studies by Russo et al. (p. 10131023) show that the exposed portion of the Rhizobium leguminosarum LPS, i.e., the O-antigen core moiety, is crucial for intimate and lateral contacts between bacterial cells and for the formation of compact biofilm structures on both abiotic and biotic surfaces. These observations may have interesting implications in the interplay between the exposed portion of the LPS and other extracellular factors involved in biofilm formation.
