Biofilm formation helps bacteria to survive environmental challenges. Biofilm development often involves multiple genetic pathways that can be regulated by external signals. Diego Serra and his team (Cordisco et al.) explore how Bacillus subtilis can antagonize Escherichia coli macrocolony biofilm formation via the metabolite bacillaene.

微生物战：枯草芽孢杆菌对抗大肠杆菌生物膜的形成

生物膜的形成有助于细菌应对环境挑战。生物膜的发育通常涉及多种可由外部信号调节的遗传途径。Diego Serra 和他的团队（Cordisco等人）探索枯草芽孢杆菌如何通过代谢物 bacillaene拮抗大肠杆菌大菌落生物膜的形成。
