Estimated rate at which clumps of v or more cells detached from the biofilm (number of events per square millimeter per minute). The estimate was based on a fit of the Pareto probability distribution to the data. The rates for the two strains were not statistically significantly different at v = 10, v = 100, and v = 1,000 (P > 0.6).
