Bacterial biofilms are often defined as communities of surface-attached bacteria and are
typically depicted with a classic mushroom-shaped structure characteristic of Pseudomonas …

The formation of microbial biofilms enables single planktonic cells to assume a multicellular
mode of growth. During dispersion, the final step of the biofilm life cycle, single cells egress …
