Biofilm rupture by laser-induced stress waves increases with loading amplitude, independent of location
K. L. Kearns, J. D. Boyd, M. E. Grady
This study uses laser spallation to measure biofilm adhesion, finding that rupture size increases with laser fluence but not with loading location, suggesting membrane tension is not a dominant factor.
