Paper of the month: August 2015
- The cells in a biofilm experience very different conditions: While the inner cells are well protected from any harm from the environment, they have on the other hand only poor access to nutrients. For the cells on the edge of the biofilm, it is just the other way round. Now, Liu et al. from the lab of Gürol M. Süel have discovered oscillation in the growth of the biofilm. These oscillations serve to provide the inner cells with access to nutrients. These oscillations are caused by metabolic co-dependence between cells in the biofilm periphery and interior that is driven by glutamate consumption and ammonium production, respectively.
- Relevant SubtiWiki pages: Gürol M. Süel, glutamate consumption and ammonium production, biofilm formation
