Mathematical modeling of intercellular interactions within the biofilm

Bacteria accumulate and are embedded in a self-produced matrix, forming the biofilm. The interactions among cells drive the development of biofilms and provide properties that differ from planktonic cells. This forum article focuses on how intercellular mechanical interactions and physiological beha...

Zusammenfassung:	Bacteria accumulate and are embedded in a self-produced matrix, forming the biofilm. The interactions among cells drive the development of biofilms and provide properties that differ from planktonic cells. This forum article focuses on how intercellular mechanical interactions and physiological behaviors lead to community-scale features via exploring the applicability of biofilm mathematical models.
