摘要：
VAAM-Forschungspreis 2019 Bacteria have been extensively investigated in their unicellular mode of life in liquid cultures. However, biofilm communities are now considered to be the most abundant mode of bacterial life on Earth, and many properties and functions of biofilms are still unclear. Mechanistically understanding which properties and functions of biofilms emerge at the single-cell level, and which emerge at the multicellular level, presents a major challenge for biofilm research in the coming years. © 2019, Der Autor.
