Switching from single-cell (planktonic) to biofilm growth (and vice versa) is regulated by a variety of environmental and physiological cues. Signals leading to activation of stress responses often lead to biofilm fort-nation which, in turn, can trigger induction of stress response mechanisms, suggesting direct cross-talk between the two cellular processes. Regulatory mechanisms of this process include two-component regulatory systems, master regulators such as the rpoS gene and signal molecules such as cyclic-di-GMP, in a tight and complex interplay.
