Hypothesis for the role of nutrient starvation in biofilm detachment
Article Abstract:
A combination of experimental and theoretical approaches is used to integrate the role of nutrient starvation as a potential trigger for biofilm detachment. The results support the conjecture that nutrient starvation is an environmental cue for the release of microbes from a biofilm.

Dynamics of microbial communities on marine snow aggregates: colonization, growth, detachment, and grazing mortality of attached bacteria
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on microbial communities attached to the agar spheres. The authorts have investigated the dynamics of these communities and the processes of their colonization, detachment, growth and grazing mortality.
