Abstract excerpt
A role for the outer-membrane-associated LapA protein in early biofilm formation by Pseudomonas fluorescens WCS365 has previously been shown. This paper reports that lapD, a gene located adjacent to the lapA gene, also plays a role in biofilm formation. A mutation in lapD results in a conditional biofilm defect in a static assay - this biofilm phenotype is exacerbated when biofilm formation is assayed in a...
