Abstract excerpt
Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a plant pathogen that persists as surface-associated populations on plants or soil particles. A genetic screen for A. tumefaciens mutants deficient for surface interactions identified a mutant that forms thin, sparsely populated biofilms, but is proficient for initial attachment. The mutant is disrupted in a gene designated sinR, encoding a member of the DNR subfamily of FNR-type...
