Bacteria in natural and engineered habitats often live as multicellular aggregates embedded in a self-produced matrix of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), known as biofilms (Hall-Stoodleyet al., 2004; Flemming and Wuertz, 2019). Biofilms are central to several grand challenges that we need t...
