Leveraging interferometry, the team began conducting new biofilm experiments, investigating how colonies' shapes changed over ...

Biofilms are clusters of microorganisms that stick to non-biological surfaces, such as rocks in a stream, as well as to surfaces on plants (roots) or in animals (epithelium). These clusters are ...

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.

Almost all micro-organisms subsist in elaborate colonies that are embedded in biofilms of self-produced exopolymer matrices. The biofilm allows the micro-organisms to adhere to any surface ...

Ferris found himself next to a microbiologist who studies biofilms. “We talk about biofilm in clinical practice all the time but we have no idea really of what it is,” he said. “Over the ...

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.

It's impossible to miss—it's the floating biofilm on top of your delicious drink. While a SCOBY looks gross, it is remarkably versatile. If you feed it on sugar and tea or coffee in large vats ...

These biofilms of aggregating microbes are everywhere: on rocks, bathtubs, and medical devices. In fact, you’re supporting a heap of these communities right now. The slimy coating on unbrushed teeth ...

Researchers have looked into the behavior of Listeria monocytogenes related to biofilms and how they support the persistence of the pathogen in food ...
