Phenotypes of a mutant
inactivation of ''[SW|fmt]'' suppresses the synthetic lethality of the ''[SW|defA] [SW|defB]'' double mutant [Pubmed|27983482]essential according to Kobayashi et al. [Pubmed|12682299], but a deletion mutant was constructed by Cai et al. [Pubmed|27983482]the mutant is defective for [SW|biofilm formation], motility, and [SW|sporulation] [Pubmed|27983482]the mutant exhibits increased sensitivity to metal ion excess and oxidative stress [Pubmed|27983482]The protein
