Active pH regulation facilitates Bacillus subtilis biofilm development in a minimally buffered environment
ABSTRACTBiofilms provide individual bacteria with many advantages, yet dense cellular proliferation can also create intrinsic metabolic challenges including excessive acidification. Because such pH stress can be masked in buffered laboratory media—such as MSgg commonly used to study Bacillus subtili...
