General Information

General Information	Comment	Organism
physiological function	Deletion of the luxS gene increases biofilm formation, but does not affect the bacterial growth rate. Deletion of the luxS gene also increases cell-surface hydrophobicity. The luxS mutant strain tends to aggregate into distinct clusters and relatively dense structures, whereas the wild-type strain appears confluent and more evenly distributed. All genes examined are up-regulated in the biofilms formed by the luxS mutant strain	Enterococcus faecalis
