Biofilm-associated toxin and extracellular protease cooperatively suppress competitors in <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> biofilms

2019-06-06

Abstract excerpt

In nature, most bacteria live in biofilms where they compete with their siblings and other species for space and nutrients. Some bacteria produce antibiotics in biofilms; however, since the diffusion of antibiotics is generally hindered in biofilms by extracellular polymeric substances, i.e., the biofilm matrix, their function remains unclear. The Bacillus subtilis yitPOM operon is a paralog of the sdpABC operon...
