This project investigates how certain marine bacteria can induce the dispersal of biofilms formed by other bacteria. By identifying the compounds responsible for this process and studying it at a cellular level, the project aims to enhance our understanding of bacterial behavior in natural environments.
The predominant mode of growth of bacteria in the natural environment is in biofilms.
Although biofilm formation can be advantageous for bacteria, it has also some disadvantages, such as limited migration to an environment with fewer competitors or more nutrients.
It is therefore not surprising that bacteria are not only form biofilms, but also are able to actively escape from the biofilm, a process called dispersal.
Furthermore, in a competition between species, the production of signalling mol…
