Kin discrimination modifies fitness, spatial segregation and matrix sharing between strains with low relatedness in <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> biofilms

2021-09-26

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Microorganisms in nature form multicellular groups called biofilms. In biofilms bacteria embedded in a matrix of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) interact intensely, due to their proximity to each other. Most studies have investigated genetically homogeneous biofilms, leaving a gap in knowledge on genetically heterogeneous biofilms. Recent insights show that a Gram-positive model bacteri...
