Indole is an inter-species biofilm signal mediated by SdiA

Abstract Background As a stationary phase signal, indole is secreted in large quantities into rich medium by Escherichia coli and has been shown to control several genes (e.g., astD, tnaB, gabT), multi-drug exporters, and the pathogenicity island of E.coli; however, its impact on biofilm formation has not been well-studied.Results Through a series
