Emergent Properties in <named-content content-type="genus-species">Streptococcus mutans</named-content> Biofilms Are Controlled through Adhesion Force Sensing by Initial Colonizers

ABSTRACT Bacterial adhesion is accompanied by altered gene expression, leading to “emergent” properties of biofilm bacteria that are alien to planktonic ones. With the aim of revealing the role of environmental adhesion forces in emergent biofilm properties, genes in Streptococcus mutans UA159 and a...
