Bacteria of the genera Pseudomonas and Bacillus can promote plant growth and protect plants from pathogens. However, the interactions between these plant-beneficial bacteria are understudied. Here, we explore the interaction between Bacillus subtilis 3610 and Pseudomonas chlororaphis PCL1606. We show that the extracellular matrix protects B. subtilis colonies from infiltration by P. chlororaphis. The absence of extracellular matrix results in increased fluidity and loss of structure of the B. su ...[more]
