-
By contrast, loss of the major ancillary protein AP1 or of the sortase SrtC-2 responsible for AP1 incorporation in the pilus does not affect the ability of bacteria to adhere to surfaces.

However, the biofilm-defective phenotype shown by the mutant strain for the minor ancillary AP2 is consistent with the well demonstrated role of this protein as the anchor protein utilized by sortase A in covalent anchoring of pilus 2a to the cell wall

-
Taken together, these data indicated that the presence of a polymerized pilus, correctly anchored to the cell wall, a process that involves both ancillary protein AP2, sortase SrtC-1 and Sortase A, is necessary for efficient biofilm formation.

According to this, also the sortase A mutant strain showed a defective phenotype as well as the KO strain lacking the sortase C specific for AP2 incorporation into pilus.
