New in JB: Fung, Visick et al. show that a single SNP can impact biofilm formation and colonization of its squid host by V. fischeri. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jb…
journals.asm.org A single point mutation is sufficient to drive syp-dependent biofilm formation and promote coloni... Biofilms promote the attachment of bacteria to each other and to surfaces. For Vibrio fischeri, biofilm formation dependent on the symbiosis polysaccharide (syp) locus promotes colonization of its...
