Correction for Magesh et al., Co-zorbs: Motile, multispecies biofilms aid transport of diverse bacterial species
The authors note that, due to a production error, “the movie legends do not match the corresponding videos. Initially, we uploaded two different supplemental videos for Movie S2—one showing a merged ...

Adhesion, biofilm formation, cell surface hydrophobicity, and antifungal planktonic susceptibility: relationship among Candida spp.
Candida biofilms were quantified at two different time points, 24 and 48 h, with two different methodologies: CV assay, which measures the total biomass of the biofilm and the XTT assay, which ...

Flow environment and matrix structure interact to determine spatial competition in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms
Bacteria often live in biofilms, which are microbial communities surrounded by a secreted extracellular matrix. Here, we demonstrate that hydrodynamic flow and matrix organization interact to shape ...

A serine sensor for multicellularity in a bacterium
We report the discovery of a simple environmental sensing mechanism for biofilm formation in the bacterium Bacillus subtilis that operates without the involvement of a dedicated RNA or protein.
