The mitigation of spatial constraint in porous environments enhances biofilm phylogenetic and functional diversity
Collectively, our results indicate that increased pore space, which alleviated spatial constraints on biofilm development, resulted in the formation of thicker biofilms with enhanced phylogenetic and functional diversity. Video Abstract.
