Privatization of biofilm matrix in structurally heterogeneous biofilms

S. B. Otto, M. Martin, D. Schafer, R. Hartmann, K. Drescher, S. Brix, A. Dragos, A. T. Kovacs

The paper investigates structural heterogeneity in biofilms, showing that matrix gene expression varies and that producer cells maintain partial privatization of the matrix, enhancing biofilm robustness.

Cheaters shape the evolution of phenotypic heterogeneity in Bacillus subtilis biofilms

M. Martin, A. Dragos, S. B. Otto, D. Schafer, S. Brix, G. Maroti, A. T. Kovacs

This study shows that EPS-deficient cheaters in Bacillus subtilis biofilms increase phenotypic heterogeneity, leading to adaptive strategies that enhance EPS production in the presence of cheaters.
