| Abstract | Quorum sensing (QS) is defined as a cellto- cell signaling process that collectively regulates the gene expression of bacteria via small signaling molecules called autoinducers (AIs). It was reported that QS-regulated gene expression in Pseudomonas aeruginosa failed to occur at a high Reynolds number (Re= 3,000), since AI-2, a secreted interspecies signaling molecule, was washed away and so could not reach the minimum concentration required for QS. In this study, we describe the effects of flow speed on QS-stimulated biofilm formation in Escherichia coli O157:H7 inside a very thin microchannel (3 cm×1 cm×45 μm). In microtiter plates, the wild-type strain produced high amounts of exopolysaccharide, whereas its QS mutants ΔluxS and ΔlsrK, defective in AI-2 production and phosphorylation, made less exopolysaccharide. Confocal laser scanning microscopy showed that at a flow rate of 1 μL/min the wild-type strain formed rounded biofilms, whereas such biofilms formed by the QS mutants were fewer and thinner. At a flow rate of 10 μL/min, none of the tested strains formed mature biofilms. Our results suggest that QS is essential in the biofilm maturation under static or very slow laminar flow conditions where the biofilm signal can be easily accumulated and transported to the sessile cells. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
