title: Influence of the hydrodynamic environment on quorum sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms.
abstract: We provide experimental and modeling evidence that the hydrodynamic environment can impact quorum sensing (QS) in a Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm. The amount of biofilm biomass required for full QS induction of the population increased as the flow rate increased.
