DOI: 10.1002/bit.28056
Abstract: Biofilms are typically heterogeneous in morphology, structure, and composition, resulting in nonuniform mechanical properties. The distribution of mechanical properties, in turn, determines the biofilm behavior, such as deformation and detachment. Most biofilm models neglect biofilm… read more here.
