Abstract

The 'unifying' hypothesis for biofilm structures as recently proposed by Wimpenny and Colasanti deals with only one dimension of a two-dimensional force field action upon the biofilm. A 'more unifying' hypothesis is therefore proposed which states that the interaction between the substrate gradient (rather than concentration) at the biofilm interface and detachment forces influence the biofilm structure.
