Advanced Understanding of Prokaryotic Biofilm Formation through Use of a Cost-Effective and Versatile Multipanel Adhesion (mPAD) Mount

Abstract

Due to the versatility of the mPAD mount, we anticipate that it will aid the analysis of biofilm formation in a broad range of bacteria and archaea. Thereby, it contributes to answering critical biological questions about the regulatory and structural components of biofilm formation and understanding this process in a wide array of environmental, biotechnological, and medical contexts.
