"This study is a testament to the unexpected connections between plant biology and microbiology." Scientists make astonishing ...

If you've ever made kombucha, you will be familiar with the term SCOBY—a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast. It's impossible to miss—it's the floating biofilm on top of your delicious drink.

The biofilm allows the micro-organisms to adhere to any surface, living or nonliving. The adaptive and genetic changes of the micro-organisms within the biofilm make them resistant to all known ...

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.

Bacterial communities form when free swimming bacteria reversibly attach to a surface. At high cell densities, many species trigger processes involved in biofilm formation, including the production of ...

While some bacteria do naturally exist in this individual ‘planktonic’ state, most bacteria mimic multicellular life, forming a community connected by a biofilm. These slime-like, three ...

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.

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) A new model estimates biofilm growth on ship hulls, potentially optimizing cleaning schedules to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. The model explains how ...

Returned to Earth 2022. Biofilm growth has been observed in Soviet/Russian (Salyuts and Mir), American (Skylab), and International (ISS) Space Stations, sometimes jeopardizing key equipment like ...

Funding enables development of vaccine platform CMTX-301 from lead optimization through Phase 1 clinical evaluation. Grant follows 2020 CARB-X award that successfully advanced CMT ...

Bacteria detect when nearby cells are dying and proactively form a protective biofilm. Understanding how bacteria communicate and respond to threats is crucial for combating infections.
