Jean‐marc Ghigo - Genetic Mutations

Author Information

Jean-Marc Ghigo is a distinguished researcher affiliated with the Genetics of Biofilms Laboratory at Institut Pasteur in Paris, France. His work primarily focuses on the genetic and molecular mechanisms underpinning biofilm formation and bacterial adhesion, contributing significantly to the field of microbiology and genetics.

Research Contributions

Jean-Marc Ghigo has made substantial contributions to understanding the evolutionary and functional aspects of bacterial biofilms. His research has explored various mechanisms, such as the role of FimH in enhancing Escherichia coli biofilm capacity, the impact of hydrogen cyanide on microbial competition, and the utilization of extracellular DNase by Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron in biofilm formation. His studies have provided insights into bacterial interactions, adhesion, and the evolutionary transition between bacterial cell structures, significantly advancing the knowledge in microbial genetics and pathogenesis.
