Bacteria usually exist as multicellular communities called biofilms when attached to surfaces, frequently to the detriment of the environment, industry and health. This project will explore the strategies bacteria use to switch from living as free-floating, individual cells to forming biofilms by studying how bacteria 'switch on' their biofilm genes.

细菌通常以多细胞群落的形式存在，当附着在表面时称为生物膜，经常对环境，工业和健康造成损害。该项目将通过研究细菌如何“打开”其生物膜基因，探索细菌从自由漂浮的个体细胞转变为形成生物膜的策略。
