Mucoid Mutants of the Biocontrol Strain Pseudomonas fluorescens CHA0 Show Increased Ability in Biofilm Formation on Mycorrhizal and Nonmycorrhizal Carrot Roots

Mucoid Mutants of the Biocontrol Strain Pseudomonas fluorescens CHA0 Show Increased Ability in Biofilm Formation on Mycorrhizal and Nonmycorrhizal Carrot Roots

Extracellular polysaccharides play an important role in the formation of bacterial biofilms. We tested the biofilmforming ability of two mutant strains with increased production of acidic extracellular polysaccharides compared with the wild-type biocontrol strain Pseudomonas fluorescens CHA0. The an...
