Deletion of Rap‐Phr systems in Bacillus subtilis influences in vitro biofilm formation and plant root colonization

Abstract Natural isolates of the soil‐dwelling bacterium Bacillus subtilis form robust biofilms under laboratory conditions and colonize plant roots. B. subtilis biofilm gene expression displays phenotypic heterogeneity that is influenced by a family of Rap‐Phr regulatory systems. Most Rap‐Phr syste...
