Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa rugose small-colony variants (RSCVs) are frequently isolated from chronic infections, yet, they are rarely reported in environmental isolates. Here, during the comparative genomic analysis of two P. aeruginosa strains isolated from crude oil, we discovered a spontaneous in-frame deletion, wspAΔ280-307 , which led to hyper-biofilm and RSCV phenotypes. WspA is a homologue of methyl-accepting...
