Phenotypes of a mutant
the mutant tends to acquire suppressor mutations that result in improved growth [Pubmed|28189581]
inactivation of ''[gene|06971E9AAB033E2878914A76645F99E97CE8A90A|fmt]'' suppresses the synthetic lethality of the ''[gene|3D41FB608DB70B9482312A1BBCCDBDA7FB713AFA|defA] [gene|53B760316B19E142FC3ECAD2CFAA540377B08BBC|defB]'' double mutant [Pubmed|27983482]
essential according to Kobayashi et al. [Pubmed|12682299], but a deletion mutant was constructed by Cai et al. [Pubmed|27983482]
the mutant is defective for [wiki|biofilm formation], motility, and [wiki|sporulation] [Pubmed|27983482]
the mutant exhibits increased sensitivity to metal ion excess and oxidative stress [Pubmed|27983482]

additional information
[protein|search|translation] is likely to require [protein|3054CD45713BBD69C2A528DE24AF6AF37175FD9D|efp] due to the presence of several consecutive proline residues [PubMed|23239624,23239623]
