Abstract excerpt
Phaeobacter inhibens 2.10 is an effective biofilm former on marine surfaces and has the ability to outcompete other microorganisms, possibly due to the production of the plasmid-encoded secondary metabolite tropodithietic acid (TDA). P. inhibens 2.10 biofilms produce phenotypic variants with reduced competitiveness compared to the wild type. In the present study, we used longitudinal, genome-wide deep sequencing...
