Impact of temperature-dependent phage expression on Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm formation

Abstract Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous opportunistic pathogen that forms robust biofilms in the different niches it occupies. Numerous physiological adaptations are required as this organism shifts from soil or aquatic environments to a host-associated lifestyle. While many conditions diffe...
