Identifiability, Sensitivity, and Genetic Algorithms in Bacterial Biofilm Selection Models
Stephen Williams, Daravuth Cheam, Michele K. Nishiguchi +3
Bacteria often develop distinct phenotypes to adapt to environmental stress. In particular, they can produce biofilms, dense communities of bacteria that live in a complex extracel…
