Abstract
- Eric Kees et al. explore whether ecological competition differs between surface-attached biofilms and planktonic culture using two differentially-reproducing strains of Shewanella oneidensis. They observed that, regardless of different growth rates, the first bacterial species to colonize a surface would persist and would not be excluded by a faster growing competitor.
