PY - 2016 DA - 2016/03/22 TI - FabR regulates Salmonella biofilm formation via its direct target FabB JO - BMC Genomics SP - 253 VL - 17 IS - 1 AB - Biofilm formation is an important survival strategy of Salmonella in all environments. By mutant screening, we showed a knock-out mutant of fabR, encoding a repressor of unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis (UFA), to have impaired biofilm formation. In order to unravel how this regulator impinges on Salmonella biofilm formation, we aimed at elucidating the S. Typhimurium FabR regulon. Hereto, we applied a combinatorial high-throughput approach, combining ChIP-chip with transcriptomics.
