Axenic Biofilm Formation and Aggregation by <i>Synechocystis</i> PCC 6803 is Induced by Changes in Nutrient Concentration, and Requires Cell Surface Structures

2018-09-11

Abstract excerpt

Phototrophic biofilms are key to nutrient cycling in natural environments and bioremediation technologies, but few studies describe biofilm formation by pure (axenic) cultures of a phototrophic microbe. The cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 (hereafter Synechocystis ) is a model micro-organism for the study of oxygenic photosynthesis and biofuel production. We report here that wild-type (WT) Synechocysti...
