The Adaptive Morphology of <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> Biofilms: A Defense Mechanism against Bacterial Starvation

The Adaptive Morphology of <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> Biofilms: A Defense Mechanism against Bacterial Starvation

Biofilms are commonly defined as accumulations of microbes, embedded in a self-secreted, polysaccharide-rich extra-cellular matrix. This study aimed to characterize specific morphological changes that occur in <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> biofilms under nutrient-limiting growth conditions. U...
