Abstract excerpt
Bacterial biofilm formation is an organized collective response to biochemical cues that enables bacterial colonies to persist and withstand environmental insults. We developed a multiscale agent-based model that characterizes the intracellular, extracellular, and cellular scale interactions that modulate Escherichia coli MG1655 biofilm formation. Each bacterium's intracellular response and cellular state were...
