Enhanced bacterial mutualism through an evolved biofilm phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

Microbial communities primarily consist of multiple species that affect one another's fitness both directly and indirectly. This study showed that the cocultivation of Paenibacillus amylolyticus and Xanthomonas retroflexus exhibited facultative mutualistic interactions in a static environment, during the course of which a new adapted phenotypic variant of X. retroflexus appeared. Although the emergence of this...
