STRAINS TESTED


BW25113 WT
MG1655 WT BW25113 pEBS-csgD
BW25113 pEBS-csgD
The protein CsgD is a regulator of genes involved in curli assembly, induced in mid-exponential phase that are active in stationary phase. It positively controls σSexpression; its deletion should in principle interfere with biofilm formation. [1]
BW25113 pEBS-fimB
The gene fimB mediates off to on switching of fim operon, while fimE mediates on to off switching of the fim operon. Its deletion should in principle repress the fim operon, while its overexpression should in principle encourage fimbriae formation. [2]
BW25113 pEBS-mlrA
MlrA stands for a merR-like regulator A, which regulates curli production. Its overexpression should in principle suppress curli formation, while its deletion should in principle encourage curli formation. [3]
BW25113 pEBS-ompA
The protein OmpA influences cellulose production by repressing cellulose production with CpxRA stress response system; it is overexpressed in biofilm formation and repressed when cells are exposed to visible light. [4]
BW25113 pEBS-ydeH
YdeH is a diguanylate cyclase, where its product regulates biofilm formation and motility. Its deletion has been shown to reduce surface attachment of the cell, its overexpression has been shown to reduce motility as well as flagella. [5]
BW25113 ΔfimA
FimA is the major subunit of E. coli type 1 (mannose sensitive) fimbriae, also known as pili. Pili are made of ~1000 units of FimA. Its deletion would remove the ability of a cell to produce fimbriae.[6]
BW25113 ΔompA
The protein OmpA influences cellulose production by repressing cellulose production with CpxRA stress response system; it is overexpressed in biofilm formation and repressed when cells are exposed to visible light.[4]
BW25113 ΔdosC
A heme-containing, oxygen-sensitive diguanylate cyclase. Its overexpression drives the cell to tend towards stationary phase physiology, leading to more biofilm and less motility. DosC expression is dependent on σS .[7]
BW25113 ΔompX
Adhesion of the cell on a surface represses ompX. Its deletion leads to increase in cell-surface contact in fimbriated E. coli, the opposite occurs in non-fimbriated E. coli.[8]
BW25113 ΔpgaB
PgaB is involved in the transport of PGA (an extra-membrane polysaccharide) across the outer membrane), which is involved in biofilm formation. Strains with mutant pgaB form less biofilm. Its expression is increased in environments with 1% ethanol or NaCl. [9]
BW25113 ΔrcsA
+ regulator of capsular polysaccharide synthesis. RcsA and RcsB form a DNA-binding transcriptional dual regulator. Deletion of this gene should in principle cause some repression of extracellular polysaccharides.[10]
BW25113 ΔfimH
FimH is the protein on the tip of fimbriae; they are the mannose sensitive subunit that in e coli mediate binding to receptor structures. [11]
BW25113 ΔcsgD
regulator of genes involved in curli assembly, induced in mid-exponential phase, csg-dependent genes active in stationary phase. [1]
BW25113 ΔompR
Function not clear. [12]
BW25113 ΔbcsA
Cellulose synthase, catalytic subunit. Its deletion should cause a lower cellulose content on the cell walls or an absence of cellulose, with a corresponding decrease in biofilm cell mass.[13]
