Cheaters shape the evolution of phenotypic heterogeneity in Bacillus subtilis biofilms

Biofilms are closely packed cells held and shielded by extracellular matrix composed of structural proteins and exopolysaccharides (EPS). As matrix components are costly to produce and shared within the population, EPS-deficient cells can act as cheaters by gaining benefits from the cooperative natu...
