DspB: carbohydrate digesting enzyme
Dispersin B (DspB) is an enzyme that degrades biofilms by catalyzing the hydrolysis of poly-ß-(1,6)-linked N-acetylglucosamine bonds. These bonds exist in the extracellular polymeric substance (EPS), which acts as a polysaccharide adhesin relevant to biofilm formation and integrity in Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis. According to literature, DspB effectively cleaves these bonds and impedes biofilm formation.
