  Evaluation Summary:

  This manuscript is of interest to microbiologists and protein biochemists who study biofilm formation, haem proteins, and cellular responses to extracellular oxidative stress. It proposes a mechanism for biofilm protection from reactive oxygen species (ROIs) through the examination of the Gram positive, Bacillus subtilis. The data support many of the conclusions of the paper and highlight the importance of cell surface-localized protein peroxidase activity for proper biofilm assembly in a model species. Further evidence is needed to fully support the proposed mechanisms.

  Evaluation Summary:

  This manuscript describes how a small plasmid containing a quinolone resistance determinant changes the cellular response to sub-inhibitory concentrations of Tobramycin. Authors have found that Escherichia coli cells carrying this plasmid undergo nitrosative stress mediated by two previously uncharacterized genes, which leads to induction of the SOS response, a well described stress response in bacteria. These findings are relevant for readers across the microbiology and genetics fields.
