Chapter 7.9, Problem 2MQ
  • Besides autoinducer synthesis, what intracellular molecule promotes biofilm formation in many bacteria?
Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
How would azithromycin influence quorum sensing in this bacterium?
Biofilms represent an important environmental niche.  What processes regulate might regulate biofilm formation? Is quorum sensing involved and if so, how common is it?  Why would biofilms promote the formation of genetic variants? What are the mechanisms by which this might occur?
Gram-negative bacteria are surrounded by two membrane bilayers separated by a space termed the periplasm. The periplasm is a multipurpose compartment separate from the cytoplasm. The periplasm has a distinct oxidizing environment that allow certain key protein structural features to be formed. Can you identify an amino acid(s) that would be affected by this oxidizing environment? How would it be affected, and what structural features would be sensitive to this environment? Can you discuss the implications of this from a standpoint of recombinant protein expression?
