Biofilm disruption by an air bubble reveals heterogeneous age-dependent detachment patterns dictated by initial extracellular matrix distribution
Biofilm disruption: patterns of weak spots Using air bubbles to disrupt biofilms reveals patterns in biofilm structure and susceptibility to damage that depend on a biofilm’s age. Roman Stocker and colleagues at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH) used controlled flow of an air...
