Novel antibiofilm chemotherapies target nitrogen from glutamate and glutamine
Abstract Bacteria in nature often reside in differentiated communities termed biofilms, which are an active interphase between uni-cellular and multicellular life states for bacteria. Here we demonstrate that the development of B. subtilis biofilms is dependent on the use of glutamine or glutamate a...
