Definition, basics (components and formation process). A biofilm forms when one or several bacterial cells suspended in the water attach to a surface. At this point, the cell either detaches again ...

This study addressed key gaps in biofilm research by quantitatively analyzing the structural components of Bacillus subtilis ...

Researchers focused on the material, which represents the "house" of biofilm bacteria ... a stage for synergistic ...

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 ...

Dental plaque biofilms are polymicrobial communities found on oral surfaces embedded within a matrix of host salivary components and microbial extracellular products. Communication between the ...

“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 ...

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).

The thermal spring environment hosts 3–5 cm thick red and green layered biofilms, which are carbonate-rich microbial mats. These biofilms can thrive under extreme conditions, including low ...
