physiological function | Deletion of the luxS gene increases biofilm formation, but does not affect the bacterial growth rate. Deletion of the luxS gene also increases cell-surface hydrophobicity. The luxS mutant strain tends to aggregate into distinct clusters and relatively dense structures, whereas the wild-type strain appears confluent and more evenly distributed. All genes examined are up-regulated in the biofilms formed by the luxS mutant strain | Enterococcus faecalis |
