Reduction of alternative electron acceptors drives biofilm formation in Shewanella algae
Abstract Shewanella spp. possess a broad respiratory versatility, which contributes to the occupation of hypoxic and anoxic environmental or host-associated niches. Here, we observe a strain-specific induction of biofilm formation in response to supplementation with the anaerobic electron acceptors...
