Control of cell fate by the formation of an architecturally complex bacterial community.

Genes & development - 1 Apr 2008

Vlamakis Hera, Aguilar Claudio, Losick Richard, Kolter Roberto

Abstract excerpt

Bacteria form architecturally complex communities known as biofilms in which cells are held together by an extracellular matrix. Biofilms harbor multiple cell types, and it has been proposed that within biofilms individual cells follow different developmental pathways, resulting in heterogeneous populations. Here we demonstrate cellular differentiation within biofilms of the spore-forming bacterium Bacillus...
