Evolutionary selection of biofilm-mediated extended phenotypes in Yersinia pestis in response to a fluctuating environment
Yersinia pestis is transmitted from fleas to rodents when the bacterium develops an extensive biofilm in the foregut of a flea, starving it into a feeding frenzy, or, alternatively, during a brief period directly after feeding on a bacteremic host.
