Popis: Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) evolved as a tool for storing and transmitting genetic information within cells, but outside the cell, DNA can also serve as "construction material" present in microbial biofilms or various body fluids, such as cystic fibrosis, sputum, and pus. In the present work, we investigate the mechanics of biofilms formed from
