Pore-scale hydrodynamics influence the spatial evolution of bacterial biofilms in a microfluidic porous network.

Bacteria occupy heterogeneous environments, attaching and growing within pores in materials, living hosts, and matrices like soil. Systems that permit high-resolution visualization of dynamic bacterial processes within the physical confines of a realistic and tractable porous media environment are r...
