Single particle tracking reveals spatial and dynamic organization of the Escherichia coli biofilm matrix
Biofilms are communities of surface-adherent bacteria surrounded by secreted polymers known as the extracellular polymeric substance. Biofilms are harmful in many industries, and thus it is of great interest to understand their mechanical properties and structure to determine ways to destabilize the...
