Impact of Fe<sup>2+</sup> and Shear Stress on the Development and Mesoscopic Structure of Biofilms—A <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> Case Study

Bivalent cations are known to affect the structural and mechanical properties of biofilms. In order to reveal the impact of Fe<sup>2+</sup> ions within the cultivation medium on biofilm development, structure and stability, <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> biofilms were cultivated in...
