Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the whole genome DNA Microarry expression
analysis of biofilm development by vibrio cholera O1 E1 tor. Asiatic cholera is caused by
Vibrio cholerae O1, and results in a purging diarrheal illness that can kill an adult within 24
hours. Laboratory-based studies have demonstrated that V. cholerae O1, biotype E1 Tor,
forms a typical three-dimensional biofilm on a variety of abiotic surfaces, and on biotic
surfaces composed of chitin. Investigation of this phenotype has showed that the rugose …
