Inhibition of SypG-induced biofilms and host colonization by the negative regulator SypE in Vibrio fischeri.
Vibrio fischeri produces a specific biofilm to promote colonization of its eukaryotic host, the squid Euprymna scolopes. Formation of this biofilm is induced by the sensor kinase RscS, which functions upstream of the response regulator SypG to regulate transcription of the symbiosis polysaccharide (...
