FUNCTIONAL HETEROGENEITY OF METABOLITES EXCRETED BY FUNGAL AND BACTERIAL BIOFILMS AND THEIR EFFECTS ON SEEDLING GROWTH

Functional heterogeneity of metabolites excreted by fungal and bacterial biofilms and their effects on seedling growth

Environmental conditions and physical interactions between microbial cells may alter the metabolites released by them.The present study examined the functional differences of metabolites excreted by three biofilms viz., a fungal biofilm of Aspergillus sp.(FB), a Bases bacterial biofilm of Enterobactor sp.(BB), and their mixed-culture biofilm (FBB).
