Dependence of continuous-flow biofilm formation by Listeria monocytogenes EGD-e on SOS response factor YneA.

ABSTRACT: Listeria monocytogenes was previously shown to form biofilms composed of a network of knitted chains under continuous-flow conditions. Here we show that the SOS response is activated under these conditions and that deletion of its regulon member yneA results in diminished biofilm formation under continuous-flow conditions.
