eDNA Provides a Scaffold for Autoaggregation of <i>B. subtilis</i> in Bacterioplankton Suspension

The self-binding of bacterial cells, or autoaggregation, is, together with surface colonization, one of the first steps in the formation of a mature biofilm. In this work, the autoaggregation of B. subtilis in dilute bacterial suspensions was studied. The dynamics of cell lysis, eDNA release, and ba...
