Emergence of biofilm-forming subpopulations upon exposure of Escherichia coli to environmental bacteriophages.

Applied and environmental microbiology - 1 Jan 2006

Lacqua Andrea, Wanner Oskar, Colangelo Teresa, Martinotti Maria Giovanna, Landini Paolo

Abstract excerpt

Exposure of Escherichia coli MG1655 to environmental bacteriophages results in rapid selection for phage-tolerant subpopulations displaying increased biofilm formation. Analysis of one phage-tolerant strain revealed large amounts of the DNA-binding Dps protein in the outer membrane protein and production of fimbria-like structures. In dps and fimA mutant derivatives of MG1655, no selection of phage-tolerant...
