Identification and characterization of an Aeromonas hydrophila oligopeptidase gene pepF negatively related to biofilm formation

Bacterial biofilms are involved in adapting to the complex environment and responsible for bacterial persistent infection. The formation of biofilm is a highly complex process during which multifarious genes work together regularly. In this study, we screened the EZ-Tn5 transposon mutant library aim...
