Increased intraspecies diversity in Escherichia coli biofilms promotes cellular growth at the expense of matrix production

Intraspecies diversity in biofilm communities is associated with enhanced survival and growth of the individual biofilm populations. Studies on the subject are scarce, namely, when more than three strains are present. Hence, in this study, the influence of intraspecies diversity in biofilm populatio...
