Abstract excerpt
The evolutionary success of the novel Wrinkly Spreader (WS) genotypes in diversifying Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 populations in static liquid microcosms has been attributed to the greater availability of O(2) at the air-liquid (A-L) interface where the WS produces a physically cohesive-class biofilm. However, the importance of O(2) gradients in SBW25 adaptation has never been examined. We have explicitly...
