Predicting biofilm deformation with a viscoelastic phase-field model: Modeling and experimental studies.

abstract：:In our previous study [Hong Y, Brown DG (2009) Appl Environ Microbiol 75(8):2346-2353], the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) level of adhered bacteria was observed to be 2-5 times higher than that of planktonic bacteria. Consequently, the proton motive force (Delta p) of adhered bacteria was approximately 15% greater than...
