Spatial heterogeneity in biofilm metabolism elicited by local control of phenazinemethylation

C. R. Evans, M. K. Smiley, S. A. Thio, M. Wei, A. M. Price-Whelan, W. Min, L. E. Dietrich

This study shows that Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses global regulators RpoS and Hfq/Crc to control methylated phenazine production, balancing their toxic and beneficial effects in biofilms.
