Evidence for inter- and intraspecies biofilm formation variability among a small group of coagulase-negative staphylococci.

abstract：:The porin-associated protein of Rhodospirillum rubrum FR1 was found to contain a peptidoglycan binding motif. A partial fragment of 179 amino acids, obtained by cleavage of PAP with trypsin, Asp-N protease, and CNBr, was sequenced. Substantial sequence homology was found of the C-terminal part (residues 126-179) of po...
