Summary
| Description |
English: Stages of biofilm development regulated by quorum sensing The first stage of biofilm formation is the attachment of bacteria to a surface, which has been associated with flagella. In the second stage, the ability to produce rhamnolipids (swarming), siderophores (iron availability), eDNA and EPS (matrix formation) are thought to be essential for microcolony formation. In the subsequent stages of biofilm maturation, lectins, adhesins and EPS are important for the proper building of the matrix and localization of its components. The final stage is biofilm dispersion. Little mechanistic data is currently available to establish a role for quorum sensing in this process. |
