Spatial vulnerability: bacterial arrangements, microcolonies, and biofilms as responses to low rather than high phage densities

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Stephen T. Abedon from the Department of Microbiology, The Ohio State University, University Dr, Mansfield, OH , have published the research: Spatial Vulnerability: Bacterial Arrangements, Microcolonies, and Biofilms as Responses to Low Rather than High Phage Densities, in the Journal: Viruses 2012, 4, 663-687 of 13/04/2012
• what: Group living bestows benefits-else why live in groups?-but also engenders costs.

SUMMARY

Mechanisms that can reduce bacterial exposure to phages include existence within environments into which phage penetration is difficult or when bacteria exist at sufficiently low densities that . . .
