epsG

Gene

epsG

Protein

Transmembrane protein EpsG

Organism

Bacillus subtilis (strain 168)

Length

367 amino acids

Function

May be involved in the production of the exopolysaccharide (EPS) component of the extracellular matrix during biofilm formation. EPS is responsible for the adhesion of chains of cells into bundles. Required for biofilm maintenance.
