Differential coping strategies exerted by biofilm and planktonic cells of the beneficial bacterium <i>B. subtilis</i> in response to the protozoan predator <i>Entamoeba histolytica</i>
2024-11-17
Abstract excerpt
The human protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica causes amebiasis and interacts with both beneficial and harmful members of the microbiome. In previous studies, it was shown that E. histolytica can break down pre-established biofilms of B. subtilis in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Inhibiting parasitic cysteine proteases impairs biofilm degradation. However, it is still unknown whether bacteria can sense...
