Extracellular matrix chemistry tunes bacterial biofilm metabolism and optimizes fitness
Summary
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 123, Issue 15, April 2026. SignificanceBiofilms are ubiquitous, capable of thriving in diverse and often hostile environments. Yet, the mechanisms behind their success remain poorly understood. To gain a foundational understanding of biofilm survival, we show that tuning matrix ...
