About this document
Bacillus subtilis Tendril Avoidance Mechanism by Barry Gian James is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document summarizes research showing that growing tendrils of the bacterium Bacillus subtilis sense and avoid each other when colonizing a semi-solid medium. Tendril growth depends on and is shaped by the release of surfactin, a biosurfactant produced by B. subtilis. Transposon mutagenesis identified two mutants with disrupted gspA genes that encode putative glycosyltransferases; these mutants
