Abstract excerpt
Five independent DNA microarray experiments were used to study the gene expression profile of a 5-day Bacillus subtilis air-liquid interface biofilm relative to planktonic cells. Both wild-type B. subtilis and its sporulation mutant (DeltaspoIIGB::erm) were investigated to discern the important biofilm genes (in the presence and absence of sporulation). The microarray results indicated that suspension cells were...
