AbstractBacteria often attach to surfaces and grow densely packed communities called biofilms. As biofilms grow, they expand across the surface, increasing their surface area and access to nutrients. Thus, the overall growth rate of a biofilm is directly dependent on its range expansion rate. A direct trade-off between horizontal and vertical growth impacts the range expansion rate and, crucially, the overall biofilm growth rate.

1 INTRODUCTION An important mechanism of intermicrobial antagonism is the Type VI Secretion System (T6SS). The T6SS is a modified phage tail spike that delivers a payload of deadly effector proteins into neighboring competitor bacterial species. Its widespread distribution (~25% of Gram-negative species; Bingle et al., 2008) can be understood through its outsized effect on microbial dynamics.
