The biofilm of Pseudomonas putida is complexly regulated by several intercellular and
extracellular factors. The cell surface adhesin LapA of this bacterium is a central factor for …

Bacteria form biofilm as a response to a number of environmental signals that are mediated
by global transcription regulators and alarmones. Here we report the involvement of the …

The biofilm matrix of the rhizospheric bacterium Pseudomonas putida consists mainly of a
proteinaceous component. The two largest P. putida proteins, adhesins LapA and LapF, are …

Extracellular factors and growth conditions can affect the formation and development of
bacterial biofilms. The biofilm of Pseudomonas putida has been studied for decades, but so …

LapA is the biggest protein in Pseudomonas putida and a key factor for biofilm formation. Its
importance and posttranslational regulation is rather thoroughly studied but less is known …

LapF is a large secreted protein involved in microcolony formation and biofilm maturation in
Pseudomonas putida. Its C-terminal domain shows the characteristics of proteins secreted …

Type VI secretion systems (T6SSs) are widespread in Gram-negative bacteria, including
Pseudomonas. These macromolecular machineries inject toxins directly into prokaryotic or …

The global regulatory molecule (p) ppGpp is synthesized under limited nutrition conditions
and involves in many cellular processes in bacteria.(p) ppGpp has been reported to affect …

Biofilms are the prevailing lifestyle of bacteria in most natural environments. This is because
living in a biofilm gives bacteria a number of advantages. When the environment is …

Biofilm dispersal is a genetically programmed response enabling bacterial cells to exit the
biofilm in response to particular physiological or environmental conditions. In Pseudomonas …
