Artificial biofilms establish the role of matrix interactions in staphylococcal biofilm assembly and disassembly

We demonstrate that the microstructural and mechanical properties of bacterial biofilms can be created through colloidal self-assembly of cells and polymers, and thereby link the complex material properties of biofilms to well understood colloidal and polymeric behaviors. This finding is applied to...
