Phenotypes of a mutant
no swarming motility on B medium. [Pubmed|19202088]not essential for pellicle biofilm formation, but mutant is outcompeted by the wild-type strain when competed during pellicle formation [Pubmed|26122431]few hours delay in pellicle development [Pubmed|26122431]mutant has increased fitness in planktonic culture when competed with the wild-type NCIB3610 strain [Pubmed|26122431]The protein
