Abstract: Research has been conducted on Pseudomonas fluorescens AdnA transcription factor affecting flagella synthesis, sand adhesion and biofilm formation. The identification of AdnA has been carried out via the study of unsertion mutant phenotypes in the absence and presence of AdnA, and the details are presented.
