3.4.21.B50	malfunction	compared with the wild-type strain NCD-2, the degQ-null mutant has decreased extracellular protease and cellulase activities as well as antifungal ability against the growth of Babillus cinerea in vitro. The lipopeptides from the degQ-null mutant also have significantly decreased antifungal activity against Botrytis cinerea in vitro and in vivo. degQ-null mutant have a flatter colony phenotype and significantly decreased biofilm formation ability relative to the wild-type strain. The degQ-null mutant shows decreased fengycin production	Bacillus subtilis
3.4.21.B50	physiological function	DegQ may be an important regulatorof fengycin production and biofilm formation in Bacillus subtilis NCD-2	Bacillus subtilis
