A Distinguishable Role of eDNA in the Viscoelastic Relaxation of Biofilms
ABSTRACT Bacteria in the biofilm mode of growth are protected against chemical and mechanical stresses. Biofilms are composed, for the most part, of extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs). The extracellular matrix is composed of different chemical constituents, such as proteins, polysaccharides,...
