The first step in the development of a bacterial biofilm is contact with the surface on which the microbe will form this community. We review recent progress on 'surface sensing', and engage the question of 'how does a microbe know it is on a surface?'
细菌生物膜形成的第一步是与微生物将在其上形成这个群落的表面接触。我们回顾了“表面感知”方面的最新进展,并探讨“微生物如何知道它处于一个表面上?”这个问题。
