Formation of a swelling gel underlies a morphological transition in Bacillus subtilis biofilms

Ayantika Saha, Joshua M. Jones, Abigail Plummer, Joseph Larkin

This study shows Bacillus subtilis biofilms use polymer composition to drive gel formation and morphological transitions through swelling and cross-linking.

Colony morphogenesis regulates sporulation dynamics in bacterial biofilms

Joshua M. Jones, Meiyi Yao, Andrew Mugler, Joseph Larkin

This study shows that colony expansion and sporulation dynamics in Bacillus subtilis biofilms are interdependent, with sporulation waves driving dormancy while non-sporulating cells maintain expansion.
