Genome rearrangements induce biofilm formation in Escherichia coli C – an old model organism with a new application in biofilm research

Abstract Background Escherichia coli C forms more robust biofilms than other laboratory strains. Biofilm formation and cell aggregation under a high shear force depend on temperature and salt concentrations. It is the last of five E. coli strains (C, K12, B, W, Crooks) designated as safe for laborat...
