Agent-Based Modeling Demonstrates How Local Chemotactic Behavior Can Shape Biofilm Architecture
Most bacteria exist in aggregated, three-dimensional structures called biofilms. Although biofilms play important ecological roles in natural and engineered settings, they can also pose societal problems, for example, when they grow in plumbing systems or on medical implants. Understanding the proce...
