Bacillus subtilis biofilm development in the presence of soil clay minerals and iron oxides
Soil: Mineral effects on biofilms The effect of three soil minerals on biofilm production is clarified by research using the common soil bacterium Bacillus subtilis. The mineral composition of soil is known to affect biofilm production, but the mechanisms underpinning minerals’ influences have not b...
