New genetic tools in Finegoldia magna identify a conserved adhesin required for the formation of stress-tolerant aggregates

Susannah Lawhorn, Cassandra J. Speyer, Angelie Arcos Chavelas, Sierra R. Scamfer, Francia Lopez Palomera, T. Jarrod Smith, Alison Coluccio, Melanie A. Spero

This study develops genetic tools for Finegoldia magna and identifies a conserved adhesin, FafA, that promotes aggregate biofilm formation and stress tolerance.

Host nutrients drive paired-substrate growth and distinct biofilm lifestyles in Finegoldia magna

Alison Coluccio, Francia Lopez Palomera, Susannah Lawhorn, Melanie A. Spero

This study shows that Finegoldia magna has a restricted metabolism dependent on specific host nutrients, which also influence its biofilm behavior.
