  12. Biofilm formation process

  13. Glass surface in the lab

  14. Genetic analysis of biofilm formation WT LBF MBF HBF Citrate Glucose+Caa

  15. Genetic characterization of biofilm formation - Requirement of movement - Adhesins -Signaling -Glycocalyx formation

  16. Movement requirement • Flagelar-mediated mobility • Non-motile mutants in P. Fluorescens • Twitching • Mutants in type IV pili in P. aeruginosa • Suppression by cells “stickier” • ompR and adhesin Curli in E. coli

  17. Adhesins • Type I pilus (fimH) in E. coli • Type IV (MSHA) pilus in V. cholerae • Curli adhesin

  18. Signaling • Quorum sensing

  19. QUORUM SENSING:DENSITY-DEPENDENT EXPRESSION TRESHOLD AUTOINDUCER CULTURE DENSITY

  20. GRAM-NEGATIVE COMMUNICATION: THE LuxI/LuxR LANGUAGE LuxR LuxR LuxI Target gene

  21. GRAM-NEGATIVE COMMUNICATION: THE LuxI/LuxR LANGUAGE • Light production in Vibrio fisheri • Virulence in Pseudomonas aeruginosa (LasI/R, RhlI/R) • Opine formation in Agrobacterium tumefaciens (TraR/I)

  22. GRAM-positive COMMUNICATION: THE PHEROMONE LANGUAGE H ABC D Pheromone gene Target gene

  23. HYBRID LANGUAGES: THE CASE OF Vibrio harvey LuxQ LuxN LuxLM LuxS LuxO Target gene

  24. GRAM-positive COMMUNICATION: THE PHEROMONE LANGUAGE • Competence for DNA uptake in Bacillus subtilis and Streptoccocus pneumoniae (ComX/ComP/ComA) • Sporulation in Bacillus subtilis • Conjugation in Enteroccus fecalis • Virulence in Staphylococus areus

  25. QS-mutants

  26. Glycocalyx formation • Alginate production in P. aeruginosa • EPS in V. cholerae (vps)

  27. lasI rhl vps Curli fimA fimH alg flagella

  28. Natural process of biofilm formation / Control by a blocking analogue
