Emergence of ion-channel-mediated electrical oscillations in Escherichia coli biofilms by Emmanuel Akabuogu, Victor Carneiro da Cunha Martorelli, Rok Krašovec, Ian S Roberts, Thomas A Waigh

“…The electrical phenomena are explained using Hodgkin-Huxley and 3D fire-diffuse-fire agent-based models. These data demonstrate that electrical wavefronts based on potassium ions are a mechanism by which signaling occurs in Gram-negative biofilms and as such may represent a conserved mechanism for communication across biofilms.…”
