Stochastic pulsing of gene expression enables the generation of spatial patterns in Bacillus subtilis biofilms

Stochastic pulsing of gene expression can generate phenotypic diversity in a genetically identical population of cells. Here, the authors show that stochastic pulsing in the expression of a sigma factor enables the formation of spatial patterns in a multicellular system, Bacillus subtilis bacterial...

Stochastic pulsing of gene expression enables the generation of spatial patterns in Bacillus subtilis biofilms
description Stochastic pulsing of gene expression can generate phenotypic diversity in a genetically identical population of cells. Here, the authors show that stochastic pulsing in the expression of a sigma factor enables the formation of spatial patterns in a multicellular system, Bacillus subtilis bacterial biofilms.
