Construction of controllable and reproducible biofilms through hydrogel based biofilm mimics

The surface-associated growth of microbial populations / communities has been revealed as the most ubiquitous lifestyle of microorganisms, which is usually referred to as biofilm. In biofilms, cells are encased within a self-produced matrix of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). Biofilm matrix...
