Biofilm-derived Planktonic Cell Yield: A Mechanism for Bacterial Proliferation

The development of biofilms at solid-liquid interfaces has been investigated extensively, whereas the yield of planktonic cells from biofilms has received comparatively little attention. The detachment of single cells from biofilms has been attributed mainly to the erosive action of flowing liquid...
