Life as a bacterium presents special challenges—primary among them the need to sense and respond to the environment—which for an organism just 3 micrometers long, like Pseudomonas aeruginosa, might seem a daunting prospect. One way Pseudomonas and other bacteria cope with the rigors of existence is by forming highly organized communities called biofilms. As members of a biofilm, microbes gain access to nutrients, genetic traits, and metabolic processes. (source: biology.plosjournals.org)
