Cell specialization in cyanobacterial biofilm development revealed by expression of a cell-surface and extracellular matrix protein

Abstract Cyanobacterial biofilms are ubiquitous and play important roles in diverse environments, yet, understanding of the processes underlying the development of these aggregates is just emerging. Here we report cell specialization in formation of Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 biofilms—a hither...
