In nature, the colanic acid synthesis phase occurs prior to biofilm formation. The latter process of biofilm formation is associated with the upregulation of a number of virulence factors. The transcription factor YgiV blocks the progression into biofilm formation by maintaining colanic acid production. Thus YgiV serves to increase acid resistance and decrease virulence.
