Differential coping strategies exerted by biofilm and planktonic cells of Bacillus subtilis in response to a protozoan predator

The human protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica feeds on intestinal microbiota to survive. To enhance the effectiveness of probiotics, we characterized how they respond to amoeba predators. We found that probiotics decrease the expression of biofilm-related genes to avoid predation while simultan...
