Biofilms are microstructured microbial communities that form at interfacies. In biofilms, microbial cells are encased in a matrix comprising polysaccharides, proteins, and extracelluar DNA. In the environment, biofilms contribute to biogeochemical cycles and pollutant degradation. However, biofilms are also responsible for more than 60% of infections and 80% of chronic infections [1, 2]. The phenotype of microorganisms in the biofilm is different compared to those in the planktonic state. Bacteria in biofilms have increased resistance to antibiotics, faster mutation accumulation rate, and higher virulence [3-10]. Biofilm are heterogenous and dynamic systems, in which biomass self-organize in response to nutrient availability, flow c...
