A polymicrobial biofilm model of Komagataeibacter hansenii and Pseudomonas 7 aeruginosa was developed to understand whether a pre-existing matrix affects the 8 ability of another species to build a biofilm. P. aeruginosa was inoculated onto the 9 preformed K. hansenii biofilm consisting of a cellulo...
