Identification of genetic determinants that promote biofilm growth under heterotrophic conditions in Cupriavidus necator using transposon enrichment

Results identify B2043 as a negative regulator of biofilm formation acting predominantly during attachment, provide the first experimental evidence for c-di-GMP-dependent biofilm regulation in C. necator H16, and establish a functional-genomics framework — together with eleven further candidate loci — for engineering p...
