Abstract excerpt
Dispersion enables biofilm bacteria to transit from the biofilm to the planktonic growth state and to spawn novel communities in new locales. Although the chemotaxis protein BdlA plays a role in the dispersion of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms in response to environmental cues, little is known about regulation of BdlA activity or how BdlA modulates the dispersion response. Here, we demonstrate that BdlA in its...
