The final deliverable. A tool paper targeting PLOS Computational Biology that presents Partaker 2 as a pipeline combining single cell tracking, micro colony detection, EPS quantification, and per-cell neighborhood analysis in 2D time series.
The paper structure: introduction positions us against BiofilmQ (366 citations, every reviewer will check), methods describes our pipeline in detail, results shows the tracking validation and the three-level correlation analysis, and discussion frames what the single cell perspective reveals about biofilm organization.
The single cell neighborhood is the headline claim. Everything else supports it.
This issue stays open until submission.
