Fig. 1: Schematic structure of a microcolony.
From: The role of fluid friction in streamer formation and biofilm growth
a illustrates two measures of the vertical extent of the biofilm: (1) Biofilm height (h), which includes any empty spaces, and (2) Biofilm thickness (T), which excludes voids. b Schematic of how the solidity measure T/h changes along one biofilm structure. Vertical dashed lines in (a) and (b) correspond to the same location.
