Biofilms are microbial sessile communities characterized by cells that are attached to a
substratum or interface or to each other, are embedded in a self-produced matrix of …

Success in nature depends upon an ability to perceive and adapt to the surrounding
environment. Bacteria are not an exception; they recognize and constantly adjust to …

Biofilms are matrix‐enclosed microbial aggregates that adhere to a biological or
