Biochemical and genetic characterization of the Enterococcus faecalis oxaloacetate decarboxylase complex.

abstract：:An important feature of microbial biofilms is the development of four-dimensional physical and chemical gradients in space and time. There is need for novel approaches to probe these so-called microenvironments to determine their effect on biofilm-specific processes. In this study, we describe the use of seminaphthorh...
