Establishing genetic tractability in Jeongeupia sacculi HS-3: disruption of rpoS hinders biofilm formation
Jeongeupia sacculi (HS-3) is a novel {beta}-proteobacterium with a unique multicellular life cycle. The genetic tractability and mechanisms underlying differentiation are unknown. Here, we adapt a method of homologous recombination for genetic modification in HS-3 and generate a disruption mutant of rpoS, which encodes the alternative sigma factor{sigma} S commonly associated with general stress…
