Signaling between Two Sensor Kinases Controls Biofilms and Host Colonization in a Bacterial Symbiont
… and SypG, to colonize its natural squid host, Euprymna scolopes. This TCS pathway regulates V. fischeri's ability to form a biofilm, or a community of cells encased in an extracellular matrix, a process required to initiate colonization. Between the sypE and sypG genes lies sypF, which encodes …

Characterization of the Novel Response Regulator Sype: A Dual Regulator of Biofilm Formation and Colonization in Vibrio Fischeri
… bacterium Vibrio fischeri and its animal host Euprymna scolopes provides a natural model system for investigating the impact of biofilms on host infection. In particular, V. fischeri produces a specific biofilm to successfully initiate host colonization.</p> <p>Biofilm formation by V. fischeri …

The quorum-sensing regulation of Vibrio fischeri : novel components of the autoinducer/LuxR regulatory circuit
… its ability to colonize its symbiotic partner, Euprymna scolopes when placed in competition with the parent strain. On the other hand, a mutant strain of V. fischeri containing an insertion in acfA, which is believed to be polar with respect to qsrV, displayed enhanced colonization competence in …

Identifying Novel Factors Involved in Biofilm Formation by Vibrio Fischeri
… to form a biofilm to colonize its squid host Euprymna scolopes. Biofilm formation by V. fischeri requires the syp polysaccharide locus, as well as the sensor kinase RscS and the response regulators SypG, required for syp transcription, and SypE, a negative regulator of biofilm formation. …

Exploring the Physiological Role of Vibrio fischeri PepN
<p>The primary contributor to Vibrio fischeri aminopeptidase activity is aminopeptidase N, PepN. Colonization assays revealed the pepN mutant strain to be deficient at forming dense aggregates and populating the host’s light organ compared to wildtype within the first 12 hours of colonization; …
