Biotic and abiotic surfaces in marine waters are rapidly colonized by microorganisms.
Surface colonization and subsequent biofilm formation and development provide numerous …

Biofilms are communities of microorganisms that live attached to surfaces. Biofilm formation
has received much attention in the last decade, as it has become clear that virtually all types …

Biofilms are communities of microbial cells that underpin diverse processes including
sewage bioremediation, plant growth promotion, chronic infections and industrial biofouling …

Notably, bacterial biofilm formation is increasingly recognized as a passive virulence factor
facilitating many infectious disease processes. In this review we will focus on bacterial …

Biofilms are a widely observed growth mode in which microbial communities are spatially
structured and embedded in a polymeric extracellular matrix. Here, we focus on the model …

Microorganisms in the natural environment typically live on or in close association with
surfaces and predominantly exist as biofilms, surface attached microbial communities …

The current onshore aquaculture trend is to develop large scale production of diversified
fingerlings and very large units for fish ongrowing. This requires an industrial type of …

Many bacteria are highly adapted for life in communities, or biofilms. A defining feature of
biofilms is the production of extracellular matrix that binds cells together. The biofilm matrix …

Vibrio cholerae can switch between motile and biofilm lifestyles. The last decades have
been marked by a remarkable increase in our knowledge of the structure, regulation, and …

Biofilms are a preferred mode of survival for many microorganisms including Vibrio
cholerae, the causative agent of the severe secretory diarrhoeal disease cholera. The ability …
