Morphogenesis of confined biofilms: how mechanical interactions determine cellular patterning and global geometry

Year: 2025

Type: review

Abstract: adhesion and friction, and serves as the key feature that distinguishes biofilms from classical bacterial colonies. These studies lay the groundwork for many potential future directions, all of which will contribute to the establishment of a new "developmental biology" of biofilms.
