bslA, forms hydrophobic surface layer on biofilm

To make our biofilm more robust and hydrophobic we we have focussed on bslA. bslA forms a hydrophobic surface layer on the biofilm of Bacillus subtilis. This layer is essential for the water repelling properties of the biofilm of the Bacillus subtilis. The BslA protein itself is a cell wall protein with amphiphilic properties which self-assembles into polymers at the air-water interface in vitro. For the expression of bslA, expression of epsABCDEFGHIJKLMNO and tapA-sipW-tasA operons are required. Without bslA the microstructure of the biofilm is smoothened and the repellency against water and organic solvents is reduced.
