In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, FLO11 encodes an adhesin that is associated with different
phenotypes, such as adherence to solid surfaces, hydrophobicity, mat and air–liquid biofilm …

An important link between the environment and the physiological state of bacteria is the
regulation of the transcription of a large number of genes by global transcription factors. One …

Bacterial extracellular polysaccharides are a key constituent of the extracellular matrix
material of biofilms. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a model organism for biofilm studies and …

Protein phosphorylation has a major role in controlling the life-cycle and infection stages of
bacteria. Proteome-wide occurrence of S/T/Y phosphorylation has been reported for many …

Mechanisms by which cells attach to a surface and form a biofilm are diverse and differ
greatly among organisms. The Gram-negative gammaproteobacterium Pseudomonas …

Biofilm formation is an important factor in disease development by Pseudomonas
aeruginosa. Similar to many bacterial species, biofilm formation in P. aeruginosa is …

Type VI secretion systems (T6SS) are specific antibacterial weapons employed by diverse
bacteria to protect themselves from competitors. Pseudomonas putida KT2440 possesses a …

Pseudomonas alkylphenolica is an important strain in the biodegradation of toxic
alkylphenols and mass production of bioactive polymannuronate polymers. This strain forms …

The genes of collagen-like proteins (CLPs) have been identified in a broad range of
bacteria, including some human pathogens. They are important for biofilm formation and …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic bacterial pathogen which poses a major threat
to long-term-hospitalized patients and individuals with cystic fibrosis. The capacity of P …
