Contribution of pilA to competitive colonization of the squid Euprymna scolopes by Vibrio fischeri.

Applied and environmental microbiology - 1 Feb 2003

Stabb Eric V, Ruby Edward G

Abstract excerpt

Vibrio fischeri colonizes the squid Euprymna scolopes in a mutualistic symbiosis. Hatchling squid lack these bacterial symbionts, and V. fischeri strains must compete to occupy this privileged niche. We cloned a V. fischeri gene, designated pilA, that contributes to colonization competitiveness and encodes a protein similar to type IV-A pilins. Unlike its closest known relatives, Vibrio cholerae mshA and vcfA,...
