Abstract
The formation of bacterial biofilms is an important factor of the chronic infection development, which requires the search for effective ways to prevent it. Here, it was found that hexuronates did not affect the biofilm formation by the probiotic strain Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 and its adhesive properties but reduced the efficiency of biofilm formation by the E. coli K-12 MG1655 strain, enhancing its adhesion to human intestinal carcinoma cells. Regulators of hexuronate metabolism, UxuR and YjjM, were shown to be involved, along with cAMP-CRP, in the control of motility, adhesion and biofilm formation of E. coli K-12 MG1655. In addition, untranslated RNAs encoded in the uxuR gene play an important role inhibiting the main sigma factor of motility.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
