Malonate utilization by Pseudomonas aeruginosa affects quorum‐sensing and virulence and leads to formation of mineralized biofilm‐like structures

What is it about?

The ability of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to cause infection is influenced by its carbon source. We show that growth on malonate influences the production of P. aeruginosa virulence factors, its antibiotic resistance, and its ability to form protective mineralized biofilm-like structures.
