Abstract excerpt
Bacteria undergo significant changes during adherence to surfaces and biofilm development. Cell-to-cell signalling molecules are known to be involved in these phenotypic adaptations to the sessile mode of life. We demonstrated previously that indole can act as an extracellular signal to regulate biofilm formation in E. coli. To identify proteins over- or under-expressed in response to E. coli biofilm formation...
