Differential Production of Psl in Planktonic Cells Leads to Two Distinctive Attachment Phenotypes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Abstract excerpt

Exponentially growing bacteria in a well-mixed planktonic culture are generally assumed to be physiologically and phenotypically uniform and distinct from their genetically identical counterparts living in biofilms. Using a combination of high spatiotemporal microscopy and a bacterial tracking algorithm, in this study, we showed that planktonic cells of Pseudomonas aeruginosa differently attached to surfaces even...
