Dispersal of biofilms by secreted, matrix degrading, bacterial DNase.

PloS one - 14 Dec 2010

Nijland Reindert, Hall Michael J, Burgess J Grant

Abstract excerpt

Microbial biofilms are composed of a hydrated matrix of biopolymers including polypeptides, polysaccharides and nucleic acids and act as a protective barrier and microenvironment for the inhabiting microbes. While studying marine biofilms, we observed that supernatant produced by a marine isolate...
