The roles of intracellular and extracellular calcium in Bacillus subtilis biofilms

The roles of intracellular and extracellular calcium in Bacillus subtilis biofilms

Summary: In nature, bacteria reside in biofilms– multicellular differentiated communities held together by an extracellular matrix. This work identified a novel subpopulation—mineral-forming cells—that is essential for biofilm formation in Bacillus subtilis biofilms. This subpopulation contains an i...
