Sticky Situations: Key Components That Control Bacterial Surface Attachment

Sticky Situations: Key Components That Control Bacterial Surface Attachment Sticky Situations: Key Components That Control Bacterial Surface Attachment Olga E. Petrova and Karin Sauer Department of Biological Sciences, Binghamton University, Binghamton, New York, USA ABSTRACT The formation of bacterial biofilms is initiated by cells transitioning from the free-swimming mode of growth to a surface. This review is aimed at highlighting the common themes that have emerged in recent research regarding the key components, signals, and cues that aid in the transition and those involved in establishing a more permanent surface association during initial attachment. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Bacteriology American Society For Microbiology
