Summary 16S rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes for eubacteria (EUB338), ammonium-
oxidizing bacteria (Nsm156) and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (Nb1000) were used for the rapid …

Biofilms—matrix-enclosed microbial accretions that adhere to biological or non-biological
surfaces—represent a significant and incompletely understood mode of growth for bacteria …

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 structural organization of four microbial communities was analysed by a novel computer
program, COMSTAT, which comprises ten features for quantifying three-dimensional biofilm …

In many aquatic ecosystems, most microbes live in matrix-enclosed biofilms,, and contribute
substantially to energy flow and nutrient cycling. Little is known, however, about the coupling …

The Mtr respiratory pathway of Shewanella oneidensis strain MR-1 is required to effectively
respire both soluble and insoluble forms of oxidized iron. Flavins (riboflavin and flavin …

Broad application of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) requires low cost and high operational
sustainability. Microbial-cathode MFCs, or cathodes using only bacterial catalysts …

The formation of multi-species biofilms on marine infrastructure costs the global economy
US $ billions annually, resulting in biofouling and microbiologically influenced corrosion. It is …
