"Because exogenously provided Bap1 restored biofilm surface adhesion to a Deltabap1DeltarbmC mutant, we questioned whether Bap1 synthesis could be a joint venture in the biofilm community."

reach
"This suggests that communal Bap1 secreted by nearby biofilm cells may also increase surface adhesion of bystanders that have not yet been reprogrammed for biofilm matrix synthesis."

reach
"Two of the proteins, RbmC and Bap1, are seemingly redundant paralogs that coat substrate surfaces and promotes cell adhesion, while another protein RbmA coats cell surfaces and promotes cell-cell cohesion."

reach
"Bap1 mediates adhesion of bystander cells."

reach
"As shown in XREF_FIG and quantified in XREF_FIG, Bap1 increased surface adhesion of wild-type V. cholerae, a Deltabap1DeltarbmC mutant, and a DeltavpsL mutant in monolayer minimal medium, while a control protein, bovine serum albumin (BSA), had no effect."

reach
"Exogenous Bap1 increases surface adhesion of planktonic bystanders as well."
