Genetic exchange by natural transformation is an important mechanism of horizontal gene transfer in biofilms. Thirty-two biofilm metrics were quantified in a heavily encapsulated Acinetobacter baylyi strain and a miniencapsulated mutant strain, accounting for cellular architecture, extracellular pol...
