The mitigation of spatial constraint in porous environments enhances biofilm phylogenetic and functional diversity

Abstract Background Porous environments constitute ubiquitous microbial habitats across natural, engineered, and medical settings, offering extensive internal surfaces for biofilm development. While the physical structure of the porous environment is known to shape the spatial organization of biofil...
