Abstract excerpt
Although our understanding of both bacterial cell physiology and the complex behaviors exhibited by bacterial biofilms is expanding rapidly, we cannot yet sum the behaviors of individual cells to understand or predict biofilm behavior. This is both because cell physiology in biofilms is different from planktonic growth and because cell behavior in biofilms is spatiotemporally patterned. We use developmental...
