title = "Hydrodynamic effects on development of mat-like biofilm in a microfluidic environment",
abstract = "Bacterial cells in hydrodynamic environments tend to form biofilms on surface to protect themselves from harsh external conditions. In microfluidic channel, biofilms grew into multi layered mat like structures. In this work, we revealed the effects of hydrodynamic conditions on development of mat like biofilms. Experimental results showed that shear stress had both positive and negative influences on biofilm developments. This result could be more valuable analysis by dimensional analysis or mathematical approaches.",
