biblatex : which style for a footnote once then nothing?

Question

Ok sorry for this not so clear title. I'm having trouble to express & find what seems so simple :s

I'm biblatex and I would like to know which citation style/bibliographical style and/or option I should use to have my bibliography ordered this way. I put you an example of a thesis from my lab here http://historique.icsn.cnrs-gif.fr/IMG/pdf/Extraction-metabolites-epongesFR2010.pdf

So, in a nutshell:

• exponent numbers
• footnote reference for the first time the ref is cited
• later on when it is again cited nothing happens no op cit no ibid
• ref numbers identical in the text, the footnote and the final bibliography
• all same data (the exponent, the footnote and the ref in the final bibliography linked via hyperref)
• citation style as Authors (Last name then First Name initials) Journal, year in bold, vol, pages.

Seems the most current setting globally for me ... but maybe it isn't. I passed the whole day in a manner to figure that. Nothing until know, thus I have learned a lot.

Following lockstep's request, here is my comment as an answer. Credit due entirely to Joseph.

Be warned that if you want to use footnotes that are not citations, you're going to run into some problems. Joseph recommends bigfoot, but a commenter mentioned that this package has some issues with bugs, compatibility and ongoing support. This problem is examined further in another question.

% No brackets around the number of each bibliography entry
\DeclareFieldFormat{labelnumberwidth}{#1\addperiod}

Some notes:

• Citation links take you to the bibliography entry, not the footnote. This appears to deviate from a feature you requested in a previous question.
• I've dropped the entry number brackets in the bibliography to conform with your thesis example. A few other changes to this end could be made (e.g. author names in normal font instead of small caps and footnote numbers in superscript), but I personally wouldn't see these as improvements in typographic style.
