Abstract excerpt
Bacterial biofilms play essential roles in biogeochemical cycling, degradation of environmental pollutants, infection diseases, and maintenance of host health. The lack of quantitative methods for growing and characterizing biofilms remains a major challenge in understanding biofilm development. In this study, a dynamic sessile-droplet habitat is introduced, a simple method which cultivates biofilms on...
