Shared biophysical mechanisms determine early biofilm architecture development across different bacterial species | PLOS Biology
Bacterial biofilms are highly abundant forms of microbial life. Using single-cell-resolution structural images of biofilms comprising several different bacterial species, this study employs a data-driven approach to identify fundamental biophysical principles of biofilm development, conserved across species.
Shared biophysical mechanisms determine early biofilm architecture development across different bacterial species | PLOS Biology Article Authors Metrics Comments Media Coverage Reader Comments Figures Figures Abstract Bacterial biofilms are among the most abundant multicellular structures on Earth and play essential roles in a wide range of ecological, medical, and industrial processes. However, general principles that govern the emergence of biofilm architecture across different species remain unknown. Here, we combine experiments, simulations, and statistical analysis to identify shared biop
