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 ...

Biofilms contain bacterial cells that are in ... physiological states with the typical outcome in a batch planktonic culture. A flask that is inoculated and placed on a shaking incubator, for ...

These experiments beautifully clarify the first steps in the formation of a mixed-species biofilm. Because the evolution of the rough variant only took place in a mixed culture and in a spatially ...

Talk about a culture shock. Microplastics — tiny particles that come from large plastic items and industrial waste — can ...

The researchers will immerse plastic films in freshwater samples (taken from a canal in Lowell) and expose them to ...

Researchers have looked into the behavior of Listeria monocytogenes related to biofilms and how they support the persistence of the pathogen in food processing environments. A study led by the ...

Bacterial Space Biofilms (1st flight): Launched on November, 2019 (NG-12). Returned to Earth on January 2020 (SpaceX-19) Fungal Space Biofilms (2nd flight): Launched on February, 2022 (NG-17).

Following is a transcript of the video. Faye Donald: Today, I'm going to show you how guided biofilm therapy, or GBT, works when we professionally clean a patient's mouth from start to finish.

“Microplastics are like rafts — a bacteria on its own might not be able to swim down a river, but riding in its biofilm on a tiny bit of plastic it can be disseminated into many different ...
