In this study we determined that the unique prokaryotic peptidylarginine deiminase (PPAD) has a significant impact on P. gingivalis strain 381 biofilm formation, a key feature of the bacterium's ability to persist and cause disease [PPAD].

Study shows that inactivation of the pgfur gene exerts a different influence on the phenotype of Porphyromonas gingivalis A7436 and ATCC 33277 strains. These findings further support the hypothesis that PgFur regulates the expression of genes encoding surface virulence factors and/or genes involved in their maturation. [pgFur]
Title: PgFur participates differentially in expression of virulence factors in more virulent A7436 and less virulent ATCC 33277 Porphyromonas gingivalis strains.

Methionine gamma-lyase (PG0343) of Porphyromonas gingivalis W83 catalyses hydrogen sulfide (H2S) production from l-cysteine and produces methyl mercaptan (CH3SH) from l-methionine in a mouse abscess model. Abscess formation by P. gingivalis, but not PG0343 deletion mutant, differ in the presence and absence of l-cysteine. The presence of l-methionine does not affect the size of abscesses caused by the wild type and mutant
