The mechanism of biofilm degradation by a detachable tailspike of gene transfer agents

Pavol Bárdy, Phuong M. Nguyen, Yan Liu…·Paul C. M. Fogg

This study identifies TspA, a biofilm-degrading enzyme from Rhodobacter capsulatus GTA, which enhances gene transfer by clearing biofilms and navigating the extracellular matrix.
