Abstract: Significance Multicellular bacterial communities called biofilms and pellicles significantly influence medical infections and industrial biofouling. Biofilms and pellicles often act as reservoirs of toxigenic bacteria. Here, we report a fractal wrinkling morphogenesis program that underlies… read more here.
