A model for quorum-sensing mediated stochastic biofilm nucleation

2022-03-25

Abstract excerpt

Surface-attached bacterial biofilms cause disease and industrial biofouling, as well as being widespread in the natural environment. Density-dependent quorum sensing is one of the mechanisms implicated in biofilm initiation. Here we present and analyse a model for quorum-sensing triggered biofilm initiation. In our model, individual, planktonic bacteria adhere to a surface, pro-liferate and undergo a collective tr...
