Pseudomonas species can exhibit phenotypic variation resulting fromgacS orgacA mutation.P. fluorescens Pf0-1 is agacA mutant and exhibits pleiotropic changes following the introduction of a functional allele. GacA enhances biofilm development while reducing dissemination in soil, suggesting that alternative Gac phenotypes enablePseudomonas sp. to exploit varied environments.
