About this document
Genes in Mycobacterium Biofilm Formation by Srividya Narayanan is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document summarizes research into genes associated with biofilm formation in Mycobacterium smegmatis. The researcher used M. smegmatis as a model to study more virulent mycobacteria like M. tuberculosis and M. avium. Through a process of growing M. smegmatis in plates and measuring GFP expression over time, several genes were identified that play a role in biofilm formation, including genes encoding for glycosyltransferase, GuaB2/IMPDH, and others. Understanding these genes may help develop treatments f
