The exopolysaccharide–eDNA interaction modulates 3D architecture of Bacillus subtilis biofilm

Abstract Background Bacterial biofilms are surface-adherent microbial communities in which individual cells are surrounded by a self-produced extracellular matrix of polysaccharides, extracellular DNA (eDNA) and proteins. Interactions among matrix components within biofilms are responsible for creat...
