The iron chelator pulcherriminic acid mediates the light response in Bacillus subtilis biofilms

Abstract Non-photosynthetic bacteria often respond to changes in light. These responses are usually regulated by photoreceptor proteins, but the mechanism of light response in biofilms is poorly understood. Here, we show that colony biofilms of Bacillus subtilis display light responses that are not...
