Transcriptomic analysis of wild-type and PNPase mutant biofilms reveals that PNPase impacts many regulatory pathways associated with biofilm formation, particularly by affecting the expression of genes involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates (e.g., lmo0096 and lmo0783, encoding PTS components), of...
Biofilms are critical for understanding environmental processes, developing biotechnology applications, and progressing in medical treatments of various infections. Nowadays, a key limiting factor for biofilm analysis is the difficulty in obtaining large
