FLIA-DEPENDENT SURFACE MACROMOLECULES PROMOTE INITIAL BIOFILM DEVELOPMENT OF ESCHERICHIA COLI BY INFLUENCING THE BACTERIAL SURFACE PROPERTIES

FliA-Dependent Surface Macromolecules Promote Initial Biofilm Development of Escherichia coli by Influencing the Bacterial Surface Properties

FliA is an important regulatory component for the synthesis of surface macromolecules which are involved in motility and biofilm development of Escherichia coli.In this study, the roles of FliA-dependent surface macromolecules in E.coli surface tension, surface heterogeneity and surface roughness, and initial biofilm development consisting of rever
