Optogenetic patterning generates multi-strain biofilms with spatially distributed antibiotic resistance
Abstract Spatial organization of microbes in biofilms enables crucial community function such as division of labor. However, quantitative understanding of such emergent community properties remains limited due to a scarcity of tools for patterning heterogeneous biofilms. Here we develop a synthetic...
