英文摘要A previous study has shown that Vibrio alginolyticus ZJ-51 undergoes colony phase variation between opaque/ rugose (Op) and translucent/smooth (Tr). The AI-2 quorum-sensing master regulator ValR, a homolog to V. harveyi LuxR, was suggested to be involved in the transition. To investigate the role of ValR in the variation and in biofilm formation, an in-frame deletion of valR in both Op and Tr backgrounds was carried out. The mutants in both backgrounds showed an intermediate colony morphotype, where the colonies were less opaque/rugose but not fully translucent/smooth either. They also showed an intermediate level of motility. However, biofilm formation was severely decreased in both mutants and polar flagella were depleted also. Quantitative PCR showed that most of the genes related to flagellar and polysaccharide biosynthesis were upregulated in the mutant of Op background (DvalR/Op) but downregulated in the mutant of Tr background (DvalR/Tr) compared with their parental wild-type strains. This suggests that ValR may control biofilm formation by regulating flagellar biosynthesis and affect the expression of the genes involved in colony phase variation in V. alginolyticus.
