The relative importance of shear forces and surface hydrophobicity on biofilm formation by coccoid cyanobacteria

Understanding the conditions affecting cyanobacterial biofilm development is crucial to develop new antibiofouling strategies and decrease the economic and environmental impact of biofilms in marine settings. In this study, we investigated the relative importance of shear forces and surface hydropho...
