Biofilm formation in Escherichia coli cra mutants is impaired due to down-regulation of curli biosynthesis.

Archives of microbiology - 1 Oct 2011

Reshamwala Shamlan M S, Noronha Santosh B

Abstract excerpt

Cra is a pleiotropic regulatory protein that controls carbon and energy flux in enteric bacteria. Recent studies have shown that Cra also regulates other cell processes and influences biofilm formation. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the role of Cra in biofilm formation in Escherichia coli. Congo red-binding studies suggested that curli biosynthesis is impaired in cra mutants.
