Basic information

  • Locus tag: BSU31010

Phenotypes of a mutant

    • delayed onset of sporulation, reduced sporulation frequency
    • defect in motility PubMed
    • reduced protein secretion PubMed
    • a floT floA double mutant does not induce KinC-dependent biofilm formation upon addition of surfactin PubMed
    • a floT floA double mutant has a strong synthetic defect in motility, cell morphology, and transformation efficiency PubMed
    • a floT floA double mutant has a sporulation defect, due to the lack of FtsH PubMed
