The Phosphoenolpyruvate:Sugar Phosphotransferase System and Biofilms in Gram-Positive Bacteria

Sarah L. Sutrina, Tamisha McGeary, Carol-Ann Bourne

Abstract

This review will examine the connection between the bacterial phosphoenolpyruvate:sugar phosphotransferase system and biofilms. We will consider both the primary role of the phosphoenolpyruvate:sugar phosphotransferase system in sugar uptake by biofilm cells and its possible role in regulatory processes in cells growing as biofilms, and in establishment and maintenance of these biofilms.
