Published in: mSphere (2021)
Kara B. De Leόn works in the field of microbial ecology, environmental biofilms, and microbial genetics. In this mSphere of Influence article, she reflects on how the paper "Multigenerational memory and adaptive adhesion in early bacterial biofilm communities" by C. K. Lee et al. (C. K. Lee, J. de Anda, A. E. Baker, R. R. Bennett, et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 115:4471-4476, 2018, https://dx.doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1720071115) made an impact on her by changing the way she thinks about initial cell attachment to a surface in an environment.
