Polysaccharides are dominant features of most bacterial surfaces and are displayed in different formats. Many bacteria produce abundant long-chain capsular polysaccharides, which can maintain a strong association and form a capsule structure enveloping the cell and/or take the form of exopolysaccharides that are mostly secreted into the immediate environment. These polymers afford the producing bacteria protection from a wide range of physical, chemical, and biological stresses, support biofilms, and play critical roles in interactions between bacteria and their immediate environments. Their biological and physical properties also drive a variety of industrial and biomedical applications. Despite the immense variation in capsular polysaccharide and exopolysaccharide structures, patterns are evident in strategies used for their assembly and export. This review describes recent advances in understanding those strategies, based on a wealth of biochemical investigations of select prototypes, supported by complementary insight from expanding structural biology initiatives. This provides a framework to identify and distinguish new systems emanating from genomic studies.

The surface hydrophobicity of different types of bacteria in activated sludge were investigated under in situ conditions by following the adhesion of fluorescent microspheres with defined surface properties to bacterial surfaces (the MAC-method). This technique was combined with identification of the bacteria with fluorescence in situ hybridization with rRNA-targeted oligonucleotides (FISH) and could thus be used for characterization of surface properties of probe-defined bacteria directly in a complex system without prior enrichment or isolation. This MAC-FISH technique could be used for single bacteria as well as filamentous bacteria. In the investigated activated sludge from an industrial wastewater treatment plant, two types of filamentous bacteria dominated. One morphotype consistently attracted only very few hydrophobic microspheres, indicating that the thin sheath of exopolymers around the cells had a hydrophilic surface. Use of a hierarchical set of gene probes revealed that these filaments were sulphide oxidising Thiothrix spp. The other predominating filamentous morphotype had a thick, very hydrophobic exopolymeric sheath. This filamentous bacterium was found to belong to the alpha-Proteobacteria. The relevance of the significant differences in surface hydrophobicity for the two morphotypes in respect to substrate uptake and floc formation is discussed.
