Visick KL, Foster J, Doino J, McFall-Ngai M, Ruby EG. Vibrio fischeri lux genes play an important role in colonization and development of the host light organ.
Here, we argue that eco-evolutionary interactions might often play an important role during colonization and have longstanding effects on populations and communities.
Significant correlation between the number of Azotobacter spp. and the contents of organic C and total N in Polish soils indicated that soil fertility was an important factor influencing colonization of soils by Azotobacter(Martyniuk and Martyniuk 2003).
Thus, SasC represents a novel S. aureus protein factor involved in cell aggregation and biofilm formation, which may play an important role in colonization during infection with this important pathogen.
In conclusion, we identified and characterized a novel S. aureus surface protein, SasC, involved in cell aggregation and biofilm formation, which may play an important role in colonization during infection with this important pathogen.
Bacterial adhesion is an important determinant of colonization and infection, including dental caries.
Our results suggest that natural and sexual selection have an important role in colonization.
hopZ is a phase-variable adhesion gene and plays an important role for colonization (Kennemann et al. 2011).
Motility is an important bacterial niche colonization factor [ 1, 2], thus many bacterial species are motile by flagellar rotation.
Some of these metabolic genes may play an important role in colonization and pathogenesis of E. coli in vivo in host environments.
