Microbial life abounds on surfaces in both natural and industrial environments, one of which
is the food industry. A solid substrate, water and some nutrients are sufficient to allow the …

Humans have co-evolved with micro-organisms and have a symbiotic or mutualistic
relationship with their resident microbiome. As at other body surfaces, the mouth has a …

One of the major challenges in modern biology is to understand how the molecular
