Biofilm formation by hyperpiliated mutants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Apr 2003

Chiang Poney, Burrows Lori L

Abstract excerpt

Under static growth conditions, hyperpiliated, nontwitching pilT and pilU mutants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa formed dense biofilms, showing that adhesion, not twitching motility, is necessary for biofilm initiation. Under flow conditions, the pilT mutant formed mushroom-like structures larger than those of the wild type but the pilU mutant was defective in biofilm formation. Therefore, twitching motility affects...
