Voronoi tessellation captures very early clustering of single primary cells as induced by interactions in nascent biofilms.

Biofilms dominate microbial life in numerous aquatic ecosystems, and in engineered and medical systems, as well. The formation of biofilms is initiated by single primary cells colonizing surfaces from the bulk liquid. The next steps from primary cells towards the first cell clusters as the initial s...
