A novel regulation on the developmental checkpoint protein Sda that controls sporulation and biofilm formation in Bacillus subtilis

ABSTRACT Biofilm formation by Bacillus subtilis is triggered by an unusually simple environmental sensing mechanism. Certain serine codons, the four TCN codons (N for A, T, C, or G), in the gene for the biofilm repressor SinR caused lowered SinR translation and subsequent biofilm induction during tr...
