For minimal biofilm eradication concentration (MBEC) and the total number of viable cells, the biofilms were washed twice with sterile PBS, and then vigorously scraped and transferred to a conical ...

Farmland drainages are a hotspot for agricultural phosphorus (P) pollution. Periphytic biofilms (PBs) are easy to grow on waterlogged solid surfaces in farmland ecosystems, such as paddy soils and ...

Early detection of pollutants in water discharge is an integral part of environmental monitoring. Electroactive biofilm (EAB)-enabled, microbial fuel cell (MFC)-based biosensors facilitate ...

Biofilm formation, including adherence to surfaces and secretion of extracellular matrix, is common in the microbial world, but we often do not know how interaction at the cellular spatial scale ...

The present study aimed to evaluate the anti-adherence activity of Lippia sidoides Cham., comparing the results with those of 0.12% chlorhexidine by means of an in vitro simulation of dental biofilm.

Biofilm distribution helps pinpoint areas where microplastics will accumulate by David L. Chandler, Massachusetts Institute of Technology edited by Sadie Harley, reviewed by Robert Egan Editors' notes ...
