The cellular morphology and sub-cellular spatial structure critically influence the function of
microbial cells. Similarly, the spatial arrangement of genotypes and phenotypes in microbial …

Imaging of biofilm systems is a prerequisite for a better understanding of both structure and
its function. The review aims to critically discuss the use of optical coherence tomography …

In this paper, we propose a novel Low-cost U-Net (LCU-Net) for the Environmental
Microorganism (EM) image segmentation task to assist microbiologists in detecting and …

Biofilms are microbial communities that represent a highly abundant form of microbial life on
Earth. Inside biofilms, phenotypic and genotypic variations occur in three-dimensional space …

The six years that have passed since the publication of the first edition have brought
significant advances in both biofilm research and biofilm engineering, which have matured …

The evolution of parasite resistance to antiparasitic agents has become a serious health
issue indicating a critical and pressing need to develop new therapeutics that can conquer …

Microorganisms play a great role in ecosystem, wastewater treatment, monitoring of
environmental changes, and decomposition of waste materials. However, some of them are …

Biofilms are now considered to be the most abundant form of microbial life on Earth, playing
critical roles in biogeochemical cycles, agriculture, and health care. Phenotypic and …

Biofilms are surface-attached microbial communities whose architecture can be captured
with confocal microscopy. Manual or automatic thresholding of acquired images is often …
