Q Do cells settle onto a surface, accumulate adhesins, and secrete EPS once attached?

Claim

Do cells settle onto a surface, accumulate adhesins, and secrete EPS once attached?

Surface attachment is the first committed step of biofilm formation. Here cells settle onto a substratum, accumulate adhesins, and—once a per-cell adhesin threshold is crossed—switch to an attached state and secrete extracellular polymeric substance (EPS). The model couples rigid-body contact physics to a simple adhesin/secretion rule.
