THE SUBTLE BIOFILM REGULATION IN ESCHERICHIA COLI: CSGD AND THE YDDV-DOS OPERON
… and EAL proteins, on their modulation in E. coli biofilm formation in response to environmental signals and on regulation of curli fibers, cellulose and poly-N-acetylglucosamine (PNAG), the most important biofilm determinants in E. coli. E. coli is an Enterobacterium, normally living inside the …

H-NS Counter-silencing as a Primary Regulatory Mechanism of Curli Gene Expression in Salmonella Typhimurium
… a previously uncharacterized input for biofilm regulation. Vitamin B12 likely serves as an allosteric regulator of MlrA and may serve as a photosensor to trigger biofilm formation in response to harmful UV irradiation. Characterization of counter-silencers in Salmonella can help us …

Carbon Catabolite Regulation of Yersinia pestis Pathogenesis
… was to ascertain the impact of carbon catabolite regulation upon Y. pestis pathogenesis. Specifically, this research encompassed two major aspects: 1) regulation of Y. pestis biofilm formation, a key transmission factor, and 2) characterization of carbon catabolite regulation amid conditions …

The Type IV Pilus Assembly ATPase PilB as a Regulator of Biofilm Formation and an Antivirulence Target
… including motility, surface attachment, and biofilm formation. In many species of bacteria a clear understanding of how the functions of T4P in lifestyle switching are regulated remains to be elucidated. Here, we focus on understanding the regulation of the T4P assembly ATPase PilB. We …

REGULATION AND EXPRESSION OF AMYLOID CURLI IN SALMONELLA INFECTION
Biofilms were first observed by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek in the mid-17th century from samples of his own oral and fecal microbiota. Leeuwenhoek was limited by the technology of the times; much of his research was spent characterizing what could be seen with a rudimentary microscope. Today, knowledge …
