Finally, biofilm-forming bacteria use chemical communication, called quorum sensing, to coordinate their metabolism (Camilli and Bassler 2006). Bacteria release chemical signals that are sensed by ...
which are ways in which the cells within the biofilm signal to each other that now is the time to disperse and break up the biofilm, and there are many other types of mechanism, which just goes to ...
This suggests that glucose-rich polysaccharides contribute to structural integrity, while galactose-based sugars may play a ...
Biofilms, ubiquitous bacterial communities embedded in a slimy matrix, are the oldest form of multicellularity on Earth; they are extremely resistant to antibiotics and stick tenaciously to most ...
"It's thrilling to think a molecule that plants use to signal stress might one day help humans combat bacterial threats." "By preventing the early stages of biofilm development, this molecule ...
The green represents the beneficial bacterium Bacillus subtilis, which has formed a biofilm on the Arabidopsis root surface. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy ...
