Carbon source, cell density, and the microbial community control inhibition of V. cholerae surface colonization by environmental nitrate
Jamaurie James, Renato Elias Rodrigues de Souza Santos, Paula I. Watnick
This study shows that nitrite from V. cholerae nitrate respiration inhibits biofilm formation, but co-culturing with P. aminovorans reduces nitrite and enhances V. cholerae colonization.
