Spatio-temporal assembly of functional mineral scaffolds within microbial biofilms
Historically, multicellular bacterial communities, known as biofilms, have been thought to be held together solely by a self-produced extracellular matrix. Our study identified a novel mechanism maintaining Bacillus subtilis and Mycobacterium smegmatis biofilms—active production of calcite minerals....
