A biofilm is an interface-associated colloidal dispersion of bacterial cells and excreted
polymers in which microorganisms find protection from their environment. Successful …

Investigating environmental processes, especially those occurring in soils, calls for
innovative and multidisciplinary technologies that can provide insights at the microscale …

Bacteria in porous media, such as soils, aquifers, and filters, often form surface-attached
communities known as biofilms. Biofilms are affected by fluid flow through the porous …

Biological tissues, sediments, or engineered systems are spatially structured media with a
tortuous and porous structure that host the flow of fluids. Such complex environments can …

Across diverse habitats, bacteria are mainly found as biofilms, surface-attached communities
embedded in a self-secreted matrix of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), which …

Bioaggregates are condensed porous materials comprising microbes, organic and inorganic
matters, and water. They are commonly found in natural and engineered porous media and …

The responses of microbial communities in hyporheic zone to the eco-hydrological process
have been a hotspot in river ecological health research. However, the impact of different …

Bacterial biofilms can form in porous media that are of interest in industrial applications
ranging from medical implants to biofilters as well as in environmental applications such as …

The physical and biological attributes of riverine ecosystems interact in a complex manner
which can affect the hydrodynamic behaviour of the system. This can alter the mixing …

Microorganisms capable of biomineralization can catalyze mineral precipitation by
modifying local physical and chemical conditions. In porous media, such as soil and rock …
