Investigating Extracellular DNA Release in <i>Staphylococcus xylosus</i> Biofilm In Vitro
<i>Staphylococcus xylosus</i> forms biofilm embedded in an extracellular polymeric matrix. As extracellular DNA (eDNA) resulting from cell lysis has been found in several staphylococcal biofilms, we investigated <i>S. xylosus</i> biofilm in vitro by a microscopic approach and...
