abstract = {Biofilms of the sulfate reducing bacterium (SRB)
Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough (DvH) can facilitate
metal corrosion in various industrial and environmental
settings leading to substantial economic losses; however,
the mechanisms of biofilm formation by DvH are not yet
well-understood. Evidence suggests that a large adhesin,
DvhA, may be contributing to biofilm formation in DvH. The
dvhA gene and its neighbors encode proteins that resemble
the Lap system, which regulates biofilm formation by
Pseudomonas fluorescens, including a LapG-like protease DvhG
and effector protein DvhD, which has key differences from
the previously described LapD. By expressing the Lap-like
adhesion components of DvH in P. fluorescens, our data
support the model that the N-terminal fragment of the large
adhesin DvhA serves as an adhesin “retention module” and
is the target of the DvhG/DvhD regulatory module, thereby
controlling cell-surface location of the adhesin. By
heterologously expressing the DvhG/DvhD-like proteins in a
P. fluorescens background lacking native regulation
(ΔlapGΔlapD) we also show that cell surface regulation of
the adhesin is dependent upon the intracellular levels of
c-di-GMP. This study provides insight into the key players
responsible for biofilm formation by DvH, thereby expanding
our understanding of Lap-like systems.},
