If you've ever made kombucha, you will be familiar with the term SCOBY—a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast. It's ...

Slime build-up is a costly drag on fuel efficiency for ocean-going cargo ships, leading to more emissions and, eventually, ...

Bacteria permeate virtually every corner of the Earth. Most bacteria live in a biofilm state to enhance their survival and propagation, and to perform essential tasks for many ecosystems.

Researchers have discovered that MEcPP, a molecule plants produce during stress, prevents bacterial biofilm formation. Biofilms protect bacteria on surfaces like medical devices and pipes, making ...

The biofilm allows the micro-organisms to adhere to any surface, living or nonliving. The adaptive and genetic changes of the micro-organisms within the biofilm make them resistant to all known ...

A biofilm is composed of attached microbial cells encased within a matrix of extracellular polymeric secretions (EPS), which surround and protect cells. The EPS matrix is typically composed of ...

Research finds that most microorganisms form a biofilm on a surface like a water bottle within 48 hours. The bacteria forge a protective layer and multiply, creating a complex community where they ...

Following is a transcript of the video. Faye Donald: Today, I'm going to show you how guided biofilm therapy, or GBT, works when we professionally clean a patient's mouth from start to finish.

If you've ever made kombucha, you will be familiar with the term SCOBY - a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast. It's impossible to miss - it's the ...

Bacteria detect cell wall fragments as danger signals and form protective biofilms, a survival strategy seen across species ...
