Biofilm formation by Bacillus subtilis: new insights into regulatory strategies and assembly mechanisms
Biofilm formation is a social behaviour that generates favourable conditions for sustained survival in the natural environment. For the Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis the process involves the differentiation of cell fate within an isogenic population and the production of communal goods t...
