Role of ArcB/ArcA in the Regulation of Biofilm Formation in Escherichia coli in Conjunction with F1hD Expression
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
The two goals of this study were to identify the affect that arcB has on biofilm formation and to determine whether this was dependent on AckA. Acetyl phosphate is formed from acetyl-CoA during acetate metabolism and is ...
