Microstructural and Rheological Transitions in Bacterial Biofilms

Microstructural and Rheological Transitions in Bacterial Biofilms

Abstract Biofilms are aggregated bacterial communities structured within an extracellular matrix (ECM). ECM controls biofilm architecture and confers mechanical resistance against shear forces. From a physical perspective, biofilms can be described as colloidal gels, where bacterial cells are analog...
