Microbial competition in porous environments can select against rapid biofilm growth

Microbes often live in dense communities called biofilms where competition between strains and species is fundamental to both evolution and community function. While biofilms are commonly found in soil-like porous environments, the study of microbial interactions has largely focused on biofilms grow...
