Some biofilms are found in extremely toxic environments and others act as the workhorse of man-made systems. Below are a few examples of the wide array of environments in which biofilms thrive.

"This study is a testament to the unexpected connections between plant biology and microbiology." Scientists make astonishing discovery about plants at the molecular level — here's how it could help ...

Bacterial cells growing in biofilms are physiologically distinct from free-swimming planktonic cells. For example, differences have been shown in motility, polysaccharide production, antibiotic ...

For example, proteins form complexes, while accumulation of minerals templated by organic extracellular matrix may lead to biomineralization of biofilms such as the formation of hardened plaque on ...
