Biofilms provide cells favorable growth conditions, which have been exploited in industrial biotechnological processes. However, industrial application of the biofilm has not yet been reported in <i>Escherichia coli</i>, one of the most important platform strains, though the biofilm has been extensively studied for pathogenic reasons. Here, we engineered <i>E. coli</i> by overexpressing the <i>fimH</i> gene, which successfully enhanced its biofilm formation under industrial aerobic cultivation c ...[more]
