Extensive cellular multitasking within <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> biofilms

2022-09-03

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Bacillus subtilis is a soil-dwelling bacterium that can form biofilms, or communities of cells surrounded by a self-produced extracellular matrix. In biofilms, genetically identical cells often exhibit heterogeneous transcriptional phenotypes so that only subpopulations of cells carry out essential yet costly cellular processes that allow the entire community to thrive. Surprisingly, the extent...
