Environmental MicrobiologyBacillus subtilis Modulates Its Usage of Biofilm-Bound Iron in Response to Environmental Iron AvailabilityRecent pieces of evidence suggest that Fe bound to the biofilm could assume at least two important functions, a local source of Fe for uptake and a support to extracellular metabolism, such as extracellular electron transfer. Our results show that B. subtilis can use biofilm-bound Fe for uptake only if it does not compromise Fe homeostasis of the biofilm, i.e.,...
