Dynamics of bacterial population growth in biofilms resemble spatial and structural aspects of urbanization

Bacterial biofilms develop from initial colonizers on surfaces that subsequently evolve into structured communities. Here, Paula et al. study this process in Streptococcus mutans and show growth dynamics that display spatial and structural patterns that are analogous to urbanization.
