Ecological Advantages of Autolysis during the Development and Dispersal of Pseudoalteromonas tunicata Biofilms

In the ubiquitous marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas tunicata, subpopulations of cells are killed by the production of an autocidal protein, AlpP, during biofilm development. Our data demonstrate an involvement of this process in two parameters, dispersal and phenotypic diversification, which are of...
