Escaping the biofilm in more than one way: desorption, detachment or dispersion
Open accessAbstract
Biofilm bacteria have developed escape strategies to avoid stresses associated with biofilm growth, respond to changing environmental conditions, and disseminate to new locations. An ever-expanding body of research suggests that cellular release from biofilms is distinct from a simple reversal of attachment and reversion to a planktonic mode of growth, with biofilm dispersion involving sensing of specific cues, regulatory signal transduction, and consequent physiological alterations. However, dispersion is only one of many ways to escape the biofilm mode of growth. The present review is aimed at distinguishing this active and regulated process of dispersion from the passive processes of desorption and detachment by highlighting the regulatory processes and distinct phenotypes specific to dispersed cells.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
