This paper identifies RtrC, a transcription factor regulated by the adhesion TCS system in Caulobacter crescentus, which represses hfiA to activate holdfast development and influences biofilm formation.

This study identifies a multi-gene network regulating surface attachment in Caulobacter crescentus by controlling hfiA transcription in response to environmental cues.

This study uses transposon sequencing to assess gene fitness in Caulobacter crescentus grown in natural freshwater, revealing environmental interactions and gene function differences compared to lab media.
