Intermittent flow paths in biofilms grown in a microfluidic channel

Kerem Bozkurt, Christoph Lohrmann, Felix Weinhardt +5

Biofilms exposed to flow experience shear stress, which leads to a competitive interaction between the growth and development of a biofilm and shearing. In this study, Pseudonomas…
