A Hierarchical Cascade of Second Messengers Regulates <named-content content-type="genus-species">Pseudomonas aeruginosa</named-content> Surface Behaviors
ABSTRACT Biofilms are surface-attached multicellular communities. Using single-cell tracking microscopy, we showed that a pilY1 mutant of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is defective in early biofilm formation. We leveraged the observation that PilY1 protein levels increase on a surface to perform a genetic...
