Modulation of bacterial multicellularity via spatio-specific polysaccharide secretion.
The development of multicellularity is a key evolutionary transition allowing for differentiation of physiological functions across a cell population that confers survival benefits; among unicellular bacteria, this can lead to complex developmental behaviors and the formation of higher-order communi...
