Understanding phage BX-1 resistance in Vibrio alginolyticus AP-1 and the role of quorum-sensing regulation by Xiaoyu Li, Xin Liu, Tianyi Ma, Haochen Su, Bingrui Sui, Lili Wang, Bilal Murtaza, Yongping Xu, Na Li, Demeng Tan

“…We elucidated the essential role of the bacterial cellulose biosynthesis-related gene bcsE, which functions as a cyclic di-GMP-binding protein, in influencing host susceptibility to phage BX-1. Interestingly, Congo Red, Calcofluor White staining, and cellulose content assays indicated that deletion of bcsE in strain AP-1 does not completely abolish cellulose production, suggesting that bcsE is not essential for bacterial cellulose synthesis. …”
