Disruption of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa Tat system perturbs PQS-dependent quorum sensing and biofilm maturation through loss of the Rieske cytochrome bc1 sub-unit
E. Y.-C. Soh, F. Smith, M. Gimenez…·P. Williams
This study identifies the Pseudomonas aeruginosa Tat pathway's role in PQS-dependent quorum sensing and biofilm maturation by showing that disruption of the Rieske cytochrome bc1 subunit impairs virulence factor production and eDNA release.
