Effects of dam and seqA genes on biofilm and pellicle formation in Salmonella.

ABSTRACT: In this study, the effects of dam and seqA genes on the formation of pellicle and biofilm was determined using five different Salmonella serovars S. Group C1 (DMC2 encoded), S. Typhimurium (DMC4 encoded), S. Virchow (DMC11 encoded), S. Enteritidis (DMC22 encoded), and S. Montevideo (DMC89 encoded). dam and seqA mutants in Salmonella serovars were performed by the single step lambda red recombination method. The mutants obtained were examined according to the properties of biofilm on the polystyrene surfaces and the pellicle formation on the liquid medium. As a result of these investigations, it was determined that the biofilm formation properties on polystyrene surfaces decreased significantly (p < 0.05) in all tested dam and seqA mutants, while the pellicle formation properties were lost
