It has long been recognized that biofilms are viscoelastic materials, however the importance
of this attribute to the survival and persistence of these microbial communities is yet to be …

Bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) employ exoelectrogens to degrade organic matter, and
produce value-added products, such as bioelectricity, methane, acetate and hydrogen …

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), as well as the development of biofilms in drinking water
distribution systems (DWDSs), have become an increasing concern for public health and …

Biofilms consist of single or multiple species of bacteria embedded in extracellular polymeric
substances (EPSs), which affect the increase in antibiotic resistance by restricting the …

Background: Biofilm infection caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria is difficult to eradicate
by conventional therapies. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an effective antibacterial method …

Biofilms pose significant challenges in various fields, including food, healthcare, and
environmental industries, where they compromise safety, quality, and operational efficiency …

This study investigated the synergistic efficacy of ultrasound (US, 50 kHz, 400 W) in
combination with chlorogenic acid (CA; 0, 0.5, 1, and 2%) to inactivate Pseudomonas …

Biofilms are highly resistant to antimicrobials, often causing chronic infections. Combining
antimicrobials with low-frequency ultrasound (LFU) enhances antimicrobial efficiency, but …

Chemical cleaning is vital for the optimal operation of membrane systems. Membrane
chemical cleaning protocols are often developed in the laboratory flow cells (eg, Membrane …

Marine biofouling has severe economic impacts and cyanobacteria play a significant role as
early surface colonizers. Despite this fact, cyanobacterial biofilm formation studies in …
