Abstract
When environmental conditions are favorable, bacteria abandon their planktonic lifestyle to form surface-attached communities known as biofilms. In environments where there is a constant flow of nutrients, biofilms of the opportunistic human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa show common, definedThis publication has 26 references indexed in Scilit:
