Now online: A new description of SubtiWiki and its acompanying modules in the 2014 Database issue of Nucleic Acids Research
Paper of the month: March 2014
- In a paper from the labs of Roberto Kolter and Richard Losick PubMed it was reported that B. subtilis synthesizes norspermidine and that this compound is involved in biofilm disassembly. Now, Hobley et al. from the lab of Nicola Stanley-Wall provide compelling evidence that B. subtilis does not produce norspermidine, that previous function annotations of a norspermidine biosynthetic pathway were made in error, and that norspermidine stimulates biofilm formation.
