The role of the epipeptide EpeX in defining competitive fitness in intra-species mixed isolate colony biofilms of Bacillus subtilis

M. Kalamara, J. C. Abbott, T. Sukhodub, C. MacPhee, N. Stanley-Wall

This study identifies EpeX, an epipeptide produced by Bacillus subtilis, as a competitive fitness determinant in intra-species biofilm interactions, showing isolate-specific effects.

Founder cell configuration drives competitive outcome within colony biofilms

L. Eigentler, M. Kalamara, G. Ball, C. E. MacPhee, N. R. Stanley-Wall, F. A. Davidson

The paper shows that founder cell location and density determine competitive outcomes in biofilms, with spatial dynamics being the main driver of strain abundance.

Biofilm hydrophobicity in environmental isolates of Bacillus subtilis

M. Kalamara, J. C. Abbott, C. MacPhee, N. Stanley-Wall

This study examines biofilm hydrophobicity in diverse Bacillus subtilis isolates, finding that hydrophobicity is not universal and is not solely due to poly {gamma}-glutamic acid.

Pulcherrimin formation controls growth arrest of the Bacillus subtilis biofilm

S. Arnaouteli, D. A. Matoz Fernandez, M. Porter, M. Kalamara, J. Abbott, C. MacPhee, F. Davidson, N. Stanley-Wall

This study shows that pulcherrimin formation in Bacillus subtilis stops biofilm expansion by chelating iron, while also protecting the biofilm from invasion by neighboring communities.
