FleN generally functions as an antagonist of FleQ in regulating flagellar genes and biofilm
matrix related genes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Here, we found that in Pseudomonas …

The Pseudomonas putida flhA-flhF-fleN-fliA cluster encodes a component of the flagellar
export gate and three regulatory elements potentially involved in flagellar biogenesis and …

The transcription factor FleQ from Pseudomonas aeruginosa derepresses expression of
genes involved in biofilm formation when intracellular levels of the second messenger cyclic …

FleQ plays a crucial role in motility and biofilm formation by regulating flagellar and
exopolysaccharide biosynthesis in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It has been reported that the …

Most bacteria alternate between a free living planktonic lifestyle and the formation of
structured surface-associated communities named biofilms. The transition between these …

FleQ is a master regulator that controls bacterial flagellar gene expression. It is a unique
enhancer-binding protein or repressor protein comprising an N-terminal FleQ domain, an …

Manipulation of biofilm formation in Shewanella is beneficial for application to industrial and
environmental biotechnology. BpfA is an adhesin largely responsible for biofilm formation in …

The single polar flagellum of Pseudomonas aeruginosa plays an important role in the
pathogenesis of infection by this organism. However, regulation of the assembly of this …

FliA is known to be a sigma factor that regulates bacterial flagella gene expression.
Accumulating evidence suggests that FliA is involved in bacterial behavior other than …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative, opportunistic pathogen causing chronic
infections that are associated with the sessile/biofilm mode of growth rather than the free …
