Heterogeneity in surface sensing produces a division of labor in Pseudomonas aeruginosa populations

C. R. Armbruster, C. K. Lee, J. Parker-Gilham, J. de Anda, A. Xia, B. S. Tseng, L. R. Hoffman, F. Jin, C. Harwood, G. C. L. Wong, M. R. Parsek

This study shows that Pseudomonas aeruginosa develops two subpopulations with distinct c-di-GMP levels after surface attachment, leading to a division of labor in biofilm formation and surface exploration.
