The sporulation transcription factor Spo0A is required for biofilm development in Bacillus subtilis.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Dec 2001

Hamon M A, Lazazzera B A

Abstract excerpt

Biofilms are structured communities of cells encased in a polymeric matrix and adherent to a surface, interface or each other. We report here that the soil bacterium Bacillus subtilis forms biofilms. By confocal scanning laser microscopy, we observed that B. subtilis adhered to abiotic surfaces and formed a three-dimensional structure > or =30 microm in depth. These biofilms appeared to be at least partly encased...
