Approaches such as co-culturing different bacterial strains under various environmental conditions, alternating surface motility rate and biofilm growth conditions, developing a three-dimensional imaging set-up to characterize the aggregation depths in bacterial biofilms are used to provide new methodologies for bacterial studies. cache/hd76rx94d50.txt txt/hd76rx94d50.txt
