Little ones grow so fast. Still, researchers at the University of Warwick were surprised by just how quickly their bacteria blossomed when growing along a microscopic meniscus. Microstructures can ...

The bacterium known as Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an unwelcome visitor in the human body. Serious infections can result when a bunch of these bugs settle together on a surface to form a biofilm - a ...

When we think about bacteria, we may imagine single cells swimming in solution. However, similarly to humans, bacterial cells often socialize, using surfaces to coalesce into complex heterogeneous ...

Spherical bacteria crowd on a plastic surface to form a globular shape with vacancies throughout. When bacteria crowd together and form sticky biofilms, infections can become more dangerous and ...

Scientists have now discovered a chemical that plants produce when they're stressed prevents dangerous biofilm from forming. The breakthrough offers potential advances in healthcare as well as ...

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).

Researchers have looked into the behavior of Listeria monocytogenes related to biofilms and how they support the persistence of the pathogen in food processing environments. A study led by the ...

Growing inside pipes and on the surfaces of medical devices, bacterial biofilms cause major headaches for the food processing industry and healthcare professionals alike. Within biofilms, bacteria are ...

Microscopy images of bacteria strains, one, top, producing fimbriae as normal and one with high level of MEcPP unable to produce the fimbriae. If your teeth have ever felt fuzzy after skipping a ...
