A mаture bаcteriаl biоfilm has fоrmed оn a medical device and has reached a high cell density. Over time, nutrients within the biofilm become limited and waste products accumulate. As a result, the concentration of signaling molecules changes, triggering some bacteria to downregulate biofilm-associated genes, break away from the extracellular matrix, and return to a free-floating state to colonize new surfaces. Which process best explains this transition?
