Rapid Evolution of Culture-Impaired Bacteria during Adaptation to Biofilm Growth
Biofilm growth increases the fitness of bacteria in harsh conditions. However, bacteria from clinical and environmental biofilms can exhibit impaired growth in culture, even when the species involved are readily culturable and permissive conditions are used. Here, we show that culture-impaired varia...
