  • Title: Effect of Escherichia coli morphogene bolA on biofilms.
    Author: Vieira HL, Freire P, Arraiano CM.
    Journal: Appl Environ Microbiol; 2004 Sep; 70(9):5682-4. PubMed ID: 15345459.
    Abstract:
    Biofilm physiology is established under a low growth rate. The morphogene bolA is mostly expressed under stress conditions or in stationary phase, suggesting that bolA could be implicated in biofilm development. In order to verify this hypothesis, we tested the effect of bolA on biofilm formation. Overexpression of bolA induces biofilm development, while bolA deletion decreases biofilms.
