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 …

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 …

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

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 …

LapA and LapF are large extracellular proteins that play a relevant role in biofilm formation
by Pseudomonas putida. Current evidence favors a sequential model in which LapA is first …

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 …

In Pseudomonas putida KT2440, the exopolysaccharide Pea is associated with biofilm
stability and pellicle formation; however, little is known about its regulatory pathway. In this …

Research into the molecular mechanisms of the switch from highly motile to biofilm forming
Pseudomonas fluorescens bacteria recently uncovered a role of inorganic phosphate as an …

The psl gene cluster, comprising 15 cotranscribed genes from Pseudomonas aeruginosa,
was recently identified as being involved in exopolysaccharide biosynthesis and biofilm …
