Biofilm Formation of Escherichia coli from Surface Soils is Influenced by Variation in Cell Envelope, Iron Metabolism, and Attachment Factor Genes
Biofilm formation may increase survival and persistence of Escherichia coli in the highly variable conditions of soil environments, though it remains unknown the extent variation in biofilm formation affects survival. We asked what genetic traits influence biofilm formation in phylogroup D E. coli i...
