or exist in structured communities referred to as aggregates, consortia, biofilms, and sometimes colonies. What are the metabolic consequences of cellular interactions? Is their a geographical component to microbial life? What is the metabolic heterogeneity of individual isogenic cells? We think this is a fundamental area of microbiological research.
