Catabolite repression of Escherichia coli biofilm formation.
Biofilm formation was repressed by glucose in several species of Enterobacteriaceae. In Escherichia coli, this effect was mediated at least in part by cyclic AMP (cAMP)-cAMP receptor protein. A temporal role for cAMP in biofilm development was indicated by the finding that glucose addition after approximately 24 h failed to repress and generally activated biofilm formation.
