Chitinases Are Negative Regulators of Francisella novicida Biofilms

Chitinases Are Negative Regulators of Francisella novicida Biofilms

Biofilms, multicellular communities of bacteria, may be an environmental survival and transmission mechanism of Francisella tularensis. Chitinases of F. tularensis ssp. novicida (Fn) have been suggested to regulate biofilm formation on chitin surfaces. However, the underlying mechanisms of how chiti...
