The assembly of microorganisms over a surface and their ability to develop resistance
against available antibiotics are major concerns of interest. To survive against harsh …

Bacillus subtilis is one of the most widely studied plant growth–promoting rhizobacteria. It is
able to promote plant growth as well as control plant pathogens through diverse …

Biofilm refers to the complex, sessile communities of microbes found either attached to a
surface or buried firmly in an extracellular matrix as aggregates. The biofilm matrix …

The negative consequences of biofilms are widely reported. A defining feature of biofilms is
the extracellular matrix, a complex mixture of biomacromolecules, termed EPS, which …

Biofilms are communities of microorganisms that are attached to a surface and play a
significant role in the persistence of bacterial infections. Bacteria within a biofilm are several …

This review deals with the main mechanisms of action exerted by antagonistic bacteria, such
as competition for space and nutrients, suppression via siderophores, hydrolytic enzymes …

Bacterial biofilms can be programmed to produce living materials with self-healing and
evolvable functionalities. However, the wider use of artificial biofilms has been hindered by …

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

Biofilm formation constitutes an alternative lifestyle in which microorganisms adopt a
multicellular behavior that facilitates and/or prolongs survival in diverse environmental …

Biofilms are ubiquitous communities of tightly associated bacteria encased in an
extracellular matrix. Bacillus subtilis has long served as a robust model organism to examine …
