Loss of DSF signaling through mutation of rpfF has a pleiotropic effect in S. maltophilia. The rpfF mutant shows reduced motility in 0.6% Eiken agar (a); reduced production of extracellular protease (b); aggregation when grown in L medium (c), where the wild-type grows in a dispersed fashion; d ability to cause disease to Galleria mellonella (Wax moth larvae). In trans expression rpfF gene in the S. maltophilia rpfF mutant could restore phenotypes towards wild-type in all cases
