The response regulator Spo0A from Bacillus subtilis is efficiently phosphorylated in Escherichia coli.

abstract：:During the establishment of Escherichia coli O157:H7 infection, its capacity to adhere to host intestinal epithelial cells is the critical first step in pathogenesis. It also has the capability to form biofilms, and because both are surface activities, we sought to gain insight into a potential linkage between biofilm...
