Self-Adaptation of Pseudomonas fluorescens Biofilms to Hydrodynamic Stress

Self-Adaptation of Pseudomonas fluorescens Biofilms to Hydrodynamic Stress

In some conditions, bacteria self-organize into biofilms, supracellular structures made of a self-produced embedding matrix, mainly composed of polysaccharides, DNA, proteins, and lipids. It is known that bacteria change their colony/matrix ratio in the presence of external stimuli such as hydrodyna...
