Carbon starvation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms selects for dispersal insensitive mutants

Carbon starvation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms selects for dispersal insensitive mutants

Abstract Background Biofilms disperse in response to specific environmental cues, such as reduced oxygen concentration, changes in nutrient concentration and exposure to nitric oxide. Interestingly, biofilms do not completely disperse under these conditions, which is generally attributed to physiolo...
