A mathematical model of quorum sensing regulated EPS production in biofilm communities
BACKGROUND: Biofilms are microbial communities encased in a layer of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). The EPS matrix provides several functional purposes for the biofilm, such as protecting bacteria from environmental stresses, and providing mechanical stability. Quorum sensing is a cell-ce...
