Biofilm dispersal is the last and least understood stage of the biofilm life cycle. Several recent studies have characterized dispersal events in response to various cues and signals. Here we describe a range of methods useful for the investigation of dispersal in the biofilm model organism and opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
