In order to see whether the stringent response was involved in biofilm formation, Escherichia coli DS291 (MG1655), and its isogenic relA spoT derivative were grown for 48 h in a chemostat at dilution rates of 0.025 and 0.25 h(-1) under serine limitation. The absence of the stringent response genes relA and spoT had little effect on the planktonic cell concentrations. However, a significant (P
