cmpX overexpression in Pseudomonas aeruginosa affects biofilm formation and cell morphology in response to shear stress
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen causing chronic infections that are related to its ability to form biofilms. Mechanosensitive ion channels (Mcs) are cytoplasmic membrane proteins whose opening depends on a mechanical stress impacting the lipid bilayer. CmpX is a homologue of the...
