The DNA protection during starvation protein (Dps) influences attachment of escherichia coli to abiotic surfaces

The attachment of bacterial species such as Escherichia coli to abiotic materials is of concern to the food industry. This study investigated the role of DNA protection during starvation protein (Dps) in cell surface hydrophobicity and attachment of E. coli to glass, stainless steel, and Teflon surf...
