A master regulator for biofilm formation by Bacillus subtilis.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Feb 2005

Kearns Daniel B, Chu Frances, Branda Steven S, Kolter Roberto, Losick Richard

Abstract excerpt

Wild strains of Bacillus subtilis are capable of forming architecturally complex communities of cells known as biofilms. Critical to biofilm formation is the eps operon, which is believed to be responsible for the biosynthesis of an exopolysaccharide that binds chains of cells together in bundles. We report that transcription of eps is under the negative regulation of SinR, a repressor that was found to bind to...
