Biofilm Structure Promotes Coexistence of Phage-Resistant and Phage-Susceptible Bacteria
In the natural environment, bacteria most often live in communities bound to one another by secreted adhesives. These communities, or biofilms, play a central role in biogeochemical cycling, microbiome functioning, wastewater treatment, and disease. Wherever there are bacteria, there are also viruse...
