Streams and rivers form dense networks, shape the Earth's surface and, in their sediments,
provide an immensely large surface area for microbial growth. Biofilms dominate microbial …

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

Biofilms are microbial communities attached to a surface and embedded in an extracellular
polymeric substance which provides for the protection, stability and nutrients of the various …

Bien que les produits pharmaceutiques et thérapeutiques sont communément retrouvés
dans la nature, notre compréhension de leurs effets écologiques est limitée. Nous avons …

Bacteria that attach to surfaces aggregate in a hydrated polymeric matrix of their own
synthesis to form biofilms. Formation of these sessile communities and their inherent …

Bacterial communities attached to surfaces and established a protected mode of growth
within extracellular matrix substances are defined as a bacterial biofilm. Formation of the …

The vast majority of microorganisms live and grow in aggregated forms such as biofilms and
flocs (“planktonic biofilms”). This mode of existence is lumped in the somewhat inexact but …

We present a critical review of the relationships among three microbial products:
extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), soluble microbial products (SMP), and inert …

Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is one of the critical integrity threats in marine
and offshore industrial sectors. Thus, MIC should be considered for effective risk-based …

Biofilms were grown from wild-type (WT) Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 and the cell
signaling lasI mutant PAO1-JP1 under laminar and turbulent flows to investigate the relative …
