Imaging flow cytometry reveals a dual role for exopolysaccharides in biofilms: To promote self-adhesion while repelling non-self-community members

In nature, bacteria frequently reside in differentiated communities or biofilms. These multicellular communities are held together by self-produced polymers that allow the community members to adhere to the surface as well as to neighbor bacteria. Here, we report that exopolysaccharides prevent Baci...
