Escherichia coli O157:H7 responds to phosphate starvation by modifying LPS involved in biofilm formation
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Pathogens like E. coli O157:H7 are responsible for many outbreaks and can be found and survive in poor inorganic phosphate (Pi) environments. In E. coli the phosphate homeostasis is regulated by the Pst system and the two-component system PhoB/R. In a Δpst mutant, PhoB is constitutively activated and biofilm formation is increased. To understand how PhoB activation lead to biofilm increase, we compared the transcriptomes of EDL933 the WT strain and Δpst mutant both grown in MOPS Pi rich medium, using the Affymetrix GeneChip® E. coli Genome 2.0 Array.
