Biofilm formation assessment in Sinorhizobium meliloti reveals interlinked control with surface motility.

BMC microbiology - 3 Mar 2015

Amaya-Gómez Carol V, Hirsch Ann M, Soto María J

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Swarming motility and biofilm formation are opposite, but related surface-associated behaviors that allow various pathogenic bacteria to colonize and invade their hosts. In Sinorhizobium meliloti, the alfalfa endosymbiont, these bacterial processes and their relevance for host plant colonization are largely unexplored. Our previous work demonstrated distinct swarming abilities in two S. meliloti...
