Bacillus cereus is a food-borne pathogen capable of producing biofilms. Following analysis biofilm formation by B. ATCC 14579 transposon mutants in defined medium (DM), deletion mutant bc2939 (Δbc2939) was constructed that showed decreased crystal violet staining and cell counts. In addition, Δbc2939 also produced smaller colony biofilms with lower counts loss wrinkly morphology. The gene encodes for Prephenate dehydrogenase, which converts to 4-Hydroxy-phenylpyruvate (4-HPPA) the l-tyrosine...
Lactiplantibacillus plantarum is a Gram-positive non-motile bacterium capable of producing biofilms that contribute to the colonization surfaces in range different environments. In this study, we compared two strains, WCFS1 and CIP104448, their ability produce static dynamic (flow) environments using an in-house designed flow setup. This setup enables us impose non-uniform velocity profile across well. Biofilm formation occurred at bottom well for both under conditions, where latter...
Microbial population heterogeneity contributes to differences in stress response between individual cells a population, and can lead the selection of genetically stable variants with increased resistance. We previously provided evidence that multiple-stress resistant Listeria monocytogenes LO28 variant 15, carries point mutation rpsU gene, resulting an arginine-proline substitution ribosomal protein RpsU (RpsU17Arg-Pro). Here, we investigated trade-off general sigma factor SigB-mediated...
