摘要
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. (C) 2003 Elsevier SAS.
