The biofilm allows the micro-organisms to adhere ... [2] This led to the establishment of pure culture techniques that today remain the cornerstone of diagnostic and prescriptive antibiotic ...

To investigate, the researchers grew the three species on a glass surface conducive to biofilm development and in a well-mixed liquid culture. They "seeded" an equal number of each bacterium in ...

There are nanoplastics everywhere. These particles are found in water, food, and bodies; they are so small that they can ...

Bacteria permeate virtually every corner of the Earth. Most bacteria live in a biofilm state to enhance their survival and propagation, and to perform essential tasks for many ecosystems.

An innovative imaging technique developed at Carnegie Mellon University reveals, for the first time, single bacterial cells leaving their biofilm community. Watching the bacteria in real-time at high ...

A soft matter physicist reveals how interactions within simple cellular collectives can lead to emergent physical traits. Biofilms lead lives of liminality. Just a few cells thick, these layered ...
