There are two virulence factors of Pseudomonas aeruginosa that I'm currently studying, LasA protease and LasB elastase. From what I gathered, I know that LasB has a role in promoting biofilm formation through rhamnolipid-mediated regulation. Does anyone know if LasA also plays a crucial role in biofilm formation of P. aeruginosa, either directly or indirectly?
