Quantitative Characterisation of Morphological and Phenotypic Changes During Microbial Cell Differentiation and Multicellular Behaviour
… liquid or can form communities of cells – termed biofilms - in a self-produced extracellular matrix either floating on top of a liquid or sitting on a solid surface. In this work I will detail publications, to which I contributed, covering the differentiation and regulation of B. subtilis, looking …
