Model of biofilm protection for nitrogenase against O2 in P. polymyxa WLY78. The pep-2 gene cluster produces EPS that was secreted to the outside of the cell. Then, the cells of P. polymyxa WLY78 are enclosed by EPS to form biofilms. Biofilm provides a microaerobic environment for nitrogenase to fix nitrogen.
