Deskripsi
Adhesion forces due to active pili govern the formation of biofilms by a wide range of bacteria. Using simulations, this work shows how such active adhesions determine the morphology of bacterial collectives, their non-equilibrium fluctuations, and the spreading dynamics in different geometries.
