Abstract excerpt
The csgD gene codes for the regulatory protein CsgD. CsgD upregulates the synthesis of the adhesive fimbriae, curli, that are important for biofilm formation and downregulates flagellar synthesis. We compared the expression of genes involved in folate metabolism and a gene (hmp) in strains with an intact csgD gene and with a deletion in csgD. The hmp gene codes a flavohemoglobin that inactivates nitric oxide....
