The ROLEPS project investigates the role of extracellular polymeric substances secreted by the Lotmaria passim parasite in honeybees. It aims to understand how these substances contribute to the parasite's resilience and impact bee health through genetic engineering and biofilm studies.
Lotmaria passim is a trypanosomatid parasite of bees, highly prevalent in honeybee colonies, considered a major factor in colony loss.
Yet, the molecular mechanisms it uses to survive both inside and outside its host are unknown.
Preliminary studies showed that L.passim secretes extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and differentiates into surface attached colonies mimicking the mechanism of bacterial biofilm formation. EPS provides environmental resistance to changing and extreme physicochem…
