Genetic analysis of Vibrio cholerae monolayer formation reveals a key role for DeltaPsi in the transition to permanent attachment.

Abstract excerpt

A bacterial monolayer biofilm is a collection of cells attached to a surface but not to each other. Monolayer formation is initiated when a bacterial cell forms a transient attachment to a surface. While some transient attachments are broken, others transition into the permanent attachments that define a monolayer biofilm. In this work, we describe the results of a large-scale, microscopy-based genetic screen for...
