FATTY ACID METABOLISM IN SERRATIA MARCESCENS I. : Oxidation of Saturated Fatty Acids by Whole Cells.

abstract：:Bacterial biofilms are important in natural settings, biotechnology, and medicine. However, regulation of biofilm development and its persistence in different niches is complex and only partially understood. One key step during the biofilm life cycle is dispersal, when motile cells abandon the mature biofilm to spread...
