Role of rpoS in Escherichia coli O157:H7 strain H32 biofilm development and survival.
The protein RpoS is responsible for mediating cell survival during the stationary phase by conferring cell resistance to various stressors and has been linked to biofilm formation. In this study, the role of the rpoS gene in Escherichia coli O157:H7 biofilm formation and survival in water was investigated. Confocal scanning laser microscopy of biofilms established on coverslips revealed a nutri...
متن کاملStress and survival of aging Escherichia coli rpoS colonies.
In Escherichia coli, the expression of the RpoS regulon is known to be crucial for survival in liquid cultures during stationary phase. By measuring cell viability and by transcriptome analysis, here we show that rpoS cells as well as wild-type cells survive when they form colonies on solid media.
متن کاملRpoS role in virulence and fitness in enteropathogenic Escherichia coli
Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) is a diarrheagenic pathogen that afflicts infants in developing countries. The most important virulence trait of EPEC is its ability to intimately adhere to cells in the small intestine, and to elicit diarrhea. The alternative sigma factor RpoS is involved in the virulence of several bacterial species. RpoS coordinates the general stress response and acc...
متن کاملSmall RNAs in the control of RpoS, CsgD, and biofilm architecture of Escherichia coli
Amyloid curli fibers and cellulose are extracellular matrix components produced in the stationary phase top layer of E. coli macrocolonies, which confer physical protection, strong cohesion, elasticity, and wrinkled morphology to these biofilms. Curli and cellulose synthesis is controlled by a three-level transcription factor (TF) cascade with the RpoS sigma subunit of RNA polymerase at the top...
متن کاملA mutation in rpoS enhances biofilm formation in Escherichia coli during exponential phase of growth.
Biofilm formation in Escherichia coli is a process that involves slow growth and stress conditions where several molecular signals and growth phase regulated genes are involved. Here we show that rpoS mutant strains (defective in the stress regulator sigma(S)) exhibit an increased production of biofilm, especially in the exponential phase of growth. Our results indicate that rpoS mutants produc...
