The role of cellular filamentation in bacterialaggregation and cluster-cluster assembly

S. G. V. Charlton, G. Melaugh, D. Marenduzzo, C. MacPhee, E. Secchi

This study investigates how bacterial filamentation affects aggregate formation, network connectivity, and mechanical properties through experimental and computational analysis.

The role of the epipeptide EpeX in defining competitive fitness in intra-species mixed isolate colony biofilms of Bacillus subtilis

M. Kalamara, J. C. Abbott, T. Sukhodub, C. MacPhee, N. Stanley-Wall

This study identifies EpeX, an epipeptide produced by Bacillus subtilis, as a competitive fitness determinant in intra-species biofilm interactions, showing isolate-specific effects.

Systematic microscopical analysis reveals obligate synergy between extracellular matrix components during Bacillus subtilis colony biofilm development

M. Porter, F. A. Davidson, C. MacPhee, N. Stanley-Wall

The paper uses time-lapse imaging to study Bacillus subtilis biofilm development, showing that extracellular matrix components work together to enable structural features and growth.

Biofilm hydrophobicity in environmental isolates of Bacillus subtilis

M. Kalamara, J. C. Abbott, C. MacPhee, N. Stanley-Wall

This study examines biofilm hydrophobicity in diverse Bacillus subtilis isolates, finding that hydrophobicity is not universal and is not solely due to poly {gamma}-glutamic acid.

The majority of the matrix protein TapA is dispensable for biofilm formation by Bacillus subtilis

N. Stanley-Wall, C. MacPhee, S. Arnaouteli, T. Sukhodub, C. Earl

This study shows that only the first 57 amino acids of TapA are needed for biofilm structure in Bacillus subtilis, and proteolytic cleavage is not essential for its function.

Pulcherrimin formation controls growth arrest of the Bacillus subtilis biofilm

S. Arnaouteli, D. A. Matoz Fernandez, M. Porter, M. Kalamara, J. Abbott, C. MacPhee, F. Davidson, N. Stanley-Wall

This study shows that pulcherrimin formation in Bacillus subtilis stops biofilm expansion by chelating iron, while also protecting the biofilm from invasion by neighboring communities.
