The csgD promoter, a control unit for biofilm formation in Salmonella typhimurium.
Expression of cellulose and curli fimbriae in Salmonella typhimurium is dependent on the transcriptional regulator CsgD. Transcription of csgD itself is influenced by a variety of regulatory stimuli. Complex nucleoprotein arrangements modulate the transcriptional activity of csgD and trigger the transition between the planktonic status and biofilm formation.
