The extracellular matrix protects Bacillus subtilis colonies from Pseudomonas invasion and modulates plant co-colonization

Pseudomonas and Bacillus can promote plant growth but their mutual interactions are unclear. Here, the authors show that the extracellular matrix protects Bacillus colonies from infiltration by Pseudomonas cells, while the Pseudomonas type VI secretion system stimulates Bacillus sporulation.
